Training

Easter Sunday  Last longer run before Boston!

I planned on taking this MP run yesterday, but the hurricane wind and cold convinced me that waiting would be better.  Today was much nicer.  The morning was cool with no wind on the way out.  The wind started up about the time I turned around and pushed me home.  I timed the half marathon point at 1:37:14 and then jogged up the hill to home.  Overall pace (including the hill) - 7:27  temp -29

Easy 5 mile run at noon.  no GPS   

Morning - I actually got a good start today, but the foot of new snow in our driveway needed some attention before I could leave for the gym.   Gotta love spring in Idaho.   My kids finally get a snow day  - in April.  On the bright side, most of the tm walkers did not make it to the gym so I had my pick.

Noon - The day improved considerably and the path was even mostly dry.  Ran 5.1 miles starting out slow and then picking it up on each mile.  Pace 7:33

AM - TM 4 miles

Noon - Short on time so I ran 3 loops around Freeman and an additional .1 to finish a 5 k. Nice sunny day with a little wind.  Time 20:56 ,  Pace - 6:45  Someday I am going to have to try a real 5k and see if I can get a better time.

Slow 5 miles around the greenbelt.  My knee started bugging me a little last night and I considered not running at all today.  But since it looked nice outside and  I am not smart enough to stay off it , I decided to run slow on the grass.  It loosened up after a mile but is still not right.  Since it is taper time anyway, I may take a couple of days off.  no GPS, temp - 40, clear and windy
