Forced negative splits

Yesterday was supposed to be 4 miles, but it was raining after I got done moving some furniture between my mother-in-law's house and mine. So, today, I did some treadmill work after my wife's and my gym workout.

As you can see from the times, I forced myself to do negative splits. I had plenty of steam at the end and could have probably gone another 20 or so miles at that 9 min pace, but I decided to back it on down and save myself for my race on Saturday.

Tomorrow is the last run before the mini; my father-in-law/coach is going to be in town, and we're planning on running an easy 4 miles together.
