How does this race week schedule look? Is it too many hard days?

I would recommend replacing the friday workout with a tempo of 3-4 miles. Racing and interval training alone probably won't get you into the shape you are looking for. Also take a day off whenever you feel you need it, regardless of what was planned for that day. Being too strict will get you in serious trouble.

yea i figured on friday if i didn't feel as good, i would do shorter reps and if i felt better i would do longer reps. the thing is that i thought the longer sustained effort would come from racing, and i thought running intervals would help me get used to race pace (as opposed to a tempo run). i was thinking though every 2 weeks one of those workouts could be a tempo run followed by some shorter intervals.
