9/4 Speedwork is so hard

My calf hurts, my body hurts... I went bouldering yesterday and did something funny to my calf (maybe in conjunction with new lightweight running shoes?) which I brilliantly tried to run through this morning after a later night than I needed for today's workout...

Quality #3 - 3 sets of 1200m @10k pace, 1 min rest, 400m @5k pace, 3 min rest

Average 1200m-5 min. 43 sec. 400m - 1min 59 sec.

This is the 15-20 seconds faster per mile than what I want to run the full marathon in and I am nervous. It was hard....

I think I am on track but it is so easy to talk myself out of it- "Only my second marathon, I don't do all my prescribed workouts at pace, 26.2 miles is such a long way"
