Felt better today. Legs felt good but upper body is still a little tight. Thought it would be nice to run on the dirt road around Farmington Bay. Got to the entrance and the gate was locked. Was able to sneak around it but the gate to the second entrance was locked with a sign saying that it was closed to allow for "nesting and brooding". Decided to head back and just run through the city. Held the pace at an easy 7:50 for the first few miles then gradually increased the pace. Ran the last 3 miles at 7:00/mile pace with a few pick-ups thrown in just for fun. Other than a little ache in my achilles and calf, I think that I am ready for Boston. Total Time: 1:32:42 (7:36/mile) Avg HR: 148 |
