Easy jog before my half marathon.  Ran up a huge hill near Knoxville.

This was my practice race for Boston.  Knoxville is a pretty hilly city.  I was trying to keep an 8min/mi pace to see if I could do so for Boston.  I still had some energy left at the end, but I'm not sure if I could of held the pace for a second half.  I'm also not use to the hills.  I did enjoy this race though.  Plenty of water and powerade stops.  Several bands throughout the course and a gel stop.  My boyfriend did the full, and he said there were people handing out banana slices and motrin as well.

Ran on a treadmill at a hotel.  I was in Charleston on business.  Very boring, I will have to get use to running more on a treadmill living in middle georgia in the summer.

Ran with two other people.  We took it easy since Boston is next week.  Felt pretty good, now for the easy short mileage week.

I met my limit on races in a season.  Since October I've done a Ironman, 3 marathons, 2 half marathons, and a few smaller running races.  I knew at mile 7 that I was going to have a rough race.  Boston was an amazing experience though.  The crowd helped me to push on even when I felt bad and had no energy.  My quads are shot from all of the down hill running.  Anyone who has an opportunity to run Boston, I would recommend it.  Its an experience like no other.

Just started a sprint triathlon training plan for a race in 6wks.  Since I need a break from long workouts, I just chose an intermediate training plan to keep low miles.

Rode with the local cycling group 25mi.  Nice easy 16.5mph pace.

Jogged 2mi later in the day

First swim since October.  Swam 1500yds, 400 warm-up, 9x100, 200cd.  I'm slow, but I felt fine covering the distance.
