NYRR Workout - Fartleks from mile 22.5 to marathon finish

Tonight's workout consisted of fartleks from 110th and 5th Ave. to the marathon finish. This workout was important for us to feel the last four miles or so of the marathon. Especially important was for us to feel the one mile uphill climb from 110th to 90th, which is probably the toughest mile on the course. My lap breakdown before the workout and the post workout mileage is as follows:

Lap Time Distance Avg Pace Avg Heart Rate Avg Cadence Calories
1 00:23:44 2.89 mi 08:12 149 bpm -- 315 C
2 00:16:01 1.64 mi 09:45 123 bpm -- 178 C
3 00:05:37 0.67 mi 08:27 140 bpm -- 71 C
4 00:00:04 0.00 mi 23:02 144 bpm -- 1 C
5 00:02:34 0.31 mi 08:24 147 bpm -- 29 C
6 00:02:31 0.37 mi 06:54 156 bpm -- 38 C
7 00:16:18 2.25 mi 07:15 163 bpm -- 238 C
8 00:28:10 3.13 mi 09:00
149 bpm -- 326 C
9 00:08:17 0.90 mi 09:13 137 bpm -- 92 C

Going into tonight's workout, I was concerned about my knee holding up. It still hurts a little, but I'm actually quite pleased. It's going to continue to get better. I can't believe I only started praying about it last night. Coincidence? Perhaps, but I've had too many things happen in my life that have been "coincidental" after prayer.
