After sleeping 8 hours, I woke up refreshed, ready to hit the road.

With one week remaining, this weekend is the last chance to do quality training.

I haven't been able to do the training I wanted to do mainly due to lingering pain in my left calf and fatigue resulting from insanely busy schedule. But the worst is over and the pain is gone. So I was up for a challenge.

I was going to run 6 K three times at increasingly faster paces, first around sub-4 marathon pace, next at sub-3.5, and finally even faster.

But I was much faster than the respective targets in the first two sets, but significantly slower in the last. But that's OK.

I ran in the aqua shoes above. I'm most likely to run the Shonan Kokosai Marathon 2019 wearing the same shoes. They are super light, don't soak water in the rain, give my feet the minimum protection that they need. My PR was achieved when I ran the Tateyama Wakashio Marathon 2018 in the same type of shoes of a different design. They are proven the best!
