Elevation profile/Pace chart pretty much tell the story.  I also started to dog it a bit as the HR graph reveals in the second half as I knew I didn't have a shot.  Average pace was 6:36.  I'll need 6:35 for 10 miles to PR at Cherry Blossom.  Surprisingly, I'm going to say that's "not crazy."  It's a flat course and I'm better at 10 miles than 10k.  I find it easier to be sub-threshold and hang on the last few miles than continuously try to keep myself above threshold. 

Good week.  First 60-mile week since November and the most mpw since last June.  Track stuff indicates a decent shot at PRing at Cherry Blossom (65:55).  Running a 10k on 20 March, but course looks like it will be hilly, so not sure sub-40 is possible there.  Not enough 10ks around here! 

Went to a conference at a Disney hotel.  Kicked me off the nice 2.5-mile golf cart path because they were "worried I'd be hit by a ball" at 6:30 in the morning when the grass was being mowed.  Instead I weaved in and out between pool furniture and trying to avoid being run over by those small service trucks on the designated Disney path that's about a whole 0.5 miles long and covered in the hardest substance known -- disney concrete. 

Had a terrible cold all week and legs were so beat up by the surface, so I just did 6 easy instead of the workout on Friday. 

Forgot my garmin, so times are with my analog Seiko and distances are a guess.
