6 mile tempo today.  The goal was to do it at GMP (Goal Marathon Pace) - 6:20/mile. I figured I would go at what I thought was 6:20 pace the first mile and then go from there. Well, the first mile ended up being 5:52 and then I decided I would just hold a little faster than GMP for a beneficial workout. The splits - 5:52, 5:45, 5:55, 5:54, 5:30, 5:37 (34:37 5:46/mile). Good workout. Going to be doing longer tempos till marathon day. Thinking about adding about 2 miles to the tempo each time I do it. Leave me some feedback about that idea. 2 mile warm-up and 2 mile cool-down.

not a bad idea, just do atleast two long runs and one middle-distance long run the week before like 15-16. Do the long runs at about 75-80% of marathon pace as well for your 20 milers coming up. Just do those though.
