Met Ken and Riley up in the valley at 6am. Parked a car at the mile 14 market of the marathon course then drove up to the marathon start. We warmed 2 miles up to Causey Dam and back. Took a secret bathroom break then started our marathon simulation. 

Mine and Kens goal was to hit about 15 seconds slower then marathon pace for 16 miles. Riley was the same but obviously quicker pace then us. Workout went well hit an average of 5:49 min/mile for the workout which is right where I need to be at this point in my training. Overall run time for 16 miles was 1:32.58. 

Cooled for 3.70 miles

Big week! I like the idea of keeping the pace a click or so back from full marathon pace, especially over 16 miles.
