I have been traveling for work the last couple of days, and the fitness room at my hotel was a veritable sauna (75 degrees--which I can say for certain because I could see the thermostat). Nevertheless I was able to follow up Monday's 17 mile run with five mile tempo runs yesterday and this morning at 7:30 per mile pace. Both times I was literally sweating like a whore in church, but I definitely feel like they were great confidence builders with less than a month and a half to go before the big day. I was thinking of sneaking a fifth run in this week, but with my IT band starting to act up a bit I think I will hit the StairMaster tomorrow and run on Friday. That will still get me to 32 miles for the week, which at this point is more than enough (and probably the smarter choice) with the two toughest weeks of my training program ahead of me.
