Recovery run in 1:02:10 (8:53/mi avg). Nice and easy, nothing special. HR monitor went a bit nuts halfway into the run, so I ignored it and kept the easy pace until it regained it's sensors. Finished up with some leg strengthening exercises and stretching.

Annual physical this morning showed no matter how much exercise I do, my cholestrol will always be marginal. Otherwise, all is good.

Hey great job on qualifying for the Boston. I am just getting into the sport but have aspirations to do that one day as well. I have to make the 3hr 15min AND 59 sec mark to qualify as well. How many miles/week were you logging before you qualified? What pace were your practice runs? Just would like to guage where I am at with regards to one day meeting my goal. Currently I am trying to get in 6-9 miles per day.

P.S. By the way I had my physical earlier this week to and honestly I am more sore from them sticking me (with needles) then I am from training! All checked out well and unfortunately I have no excuses.

Thanks. I was following the Pfitzinger/Douglas up to 70 MPW plan before Portland, where I just missed. Then I got a few 70+ mile weeks in after a week recovery and before Seattle, where I got my BQ.

For my pacing, I follow the McMillan Running Calculator pace guides (http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/mcmillanrunningcalculator.htm)

Plug in your recent (best) race time and let it give you your training paces.

Good luck, keep at it, and it'll come to you...just takes consistent training IMHO.
