Clyde's Comeback!

I did my new big loop run. I wanted to get one more longer run in before I started to taper off for Boston next Monday. The run felt so good I ran smooth and easy no problems at all. I hope that I'm finally starting to progress to the next level. I have decided to run the Boston marathon as a learning experience/training run. Everyone I talk to says this isn’t the course to go out and PR on. So I'm going to run hard but in more of a training/ learning educational mentality than a competitive “I’m not going to let him pass me” state of mind.

Did an easy 5 with the running club, Dustin, Bill) Steve is still trying to heal. We are all pumped for Boston. We tried to plan meeting points and times.

I am feeling really good. I'm getting skinny, maybe too skinny. After Boston I am going to work out a lifting program that I can incorporate into my workouts. I'd like to keep my upper body strong and tone, and not skin and bones.

Meet with the running club to do a interview with the local newspaper. Ran some laps before and after, and then after the interview Steve and I ran down to Dixie High School and ran two miles on the track. It was good to run with Steve again. He seemed to be feeling pretty good. Then we ran back up to the park. Five total miles for this day on my taper trail to Boston.

Just an easy 6 miler. It sure felt hot outside...summer is comming fast in Dixie.

Easy little run.

Travled to Boston all day.

After we checked into the hotel we walked all over down town Boston.
