Ran over to the gym to meet the kids and swim.  I felt like I had pushed fairly hard at times but I still never saw a mile under 8:00- I think I'm slowing down.  AP was 8:31 for 4.5 miles and then I walked for a mile at the gym. 

I'm looking forward to Painter's next weekend but I can't decide what to make my goal.  My husband is going to run/walk it so I could pace him but I think that would drive me nuts.  Last year I ran it in 1:38, a PR for me- I don't think I'm ready for that sooo... what to do?

What to do??? That is always the question! I think you will not be happy for anything less than giving it your all. Just go into it with the mindset of doing the best you can, whatever that may be fore that day!! Take this next week easy so you are all rested up. I think you will do GREAT! You are fast and you are strong!
