Legs were sore but I could feel strength behind the soreness.  Not sure if that makes any sense.  Absolutely perfect running weather.  Just what is needed to put my attitude in the right place.

It was colder than I expected it to bet his morning so I was a little underdressed. Legs felt a little sore.  Hoping that taking it easy for the next few weeks will take care of that.

Just a run.  Nothing exciting.  A little windy and I tried to push a little harder going into the wind.  Trying to practice for the probable wind at the Riverton half on Saturday.

Easy paced run.  I cannot figure out why my legs are hurting right now.  It is not in a specific spot.  Both legs hurt from top to bottom.  I should be feeling really good with the reduced mileage.

Riverton Half Marathon Pacer (1:35)

Never been more down in the dumps about my fitness level so I am going to keep this brief.  Otherwise, it is going to be very negative and serve no purpose.  Paced the 1:35 group with Craig and stuck to the pace very well.  Got to mile 11.5 and told Craig that I wasn't going to be able to hold the pace and set him on his way.  Pulled the pacer jersey off and jogged the rest of the way trying to cheer on others.  Didn't bother crossing the finish line because there was no point.  In hindsight, I could have finished in 1:35:30 but I felt like I had already failed my goal.  Craig finished in 1:35:03.  Glad he was there to bail me out.  Here are the splits including goal and actual pace:

 Mile  Actual  Goal  Total Variance
 1  7:07  7:06  0:01
 2  7:06  7:10  (0:03)
 3  7:00  7:02  (0:05)
 4  7:29  7:32  (0:08)
 5  7:13  7:10  (0:05)
 6  7:04  7:06  (0:07)

 8  7:18  7:15  0:00
 9  7:23  7:19  0:04
 10  7:09  7:19  (0:06)
 11  7:30  7:32  (0:08)
 12  ??  7:19  
 13  ??  7:10  

In hindsight, I could view this as a success because I was able to help the group get through 11.5 miles right on pace.  On the other hand, I was hoping this was slower than marathon pace.  Don't even feel like Boston is worth the trip at this point.  See, I told you if I kept typing it would get very negative.
