Total Distance
14.55

AM- 9.55 Wendy's loop reverse. Felt good to get out this morning. Planned on hitting treadmill for shorter run this morning, but wife wasn't up, so I decided to hit the roads and go longer this morning and shorter this afternoon. Plantar hurt a little this morning, so I will get back into the Strassburg Sock for a few days (hasn't really given me a problem for most of the month - but just a nagging injury that is hard to kick). Run went well - especially considering it was a morning run which are usually a little slower for me. Overall ave. was 6:55 and that included trying to hit extra hills to prepare for the rollers of Boston (our hills in So Utah are much bigger than I would imagine anything in Boston will be, so I think I should be okay, but I went up the Wendy's Hill instead of hanging a right into Middleton like the loop would normally take me, just for a little extra practice - I liked it). Anyway ... good run. I felt pretty strong and recovered from yesterday's hills. (Cumulus)

afternoon- 5 Washington Storage run. Ran with some of my team on the way out. Didn't have my watch, but we were taking it pretty easy, but having a lot of fun. Then on the way back I picked it up a bit - probably 6:45 ish pace. Felt pretty good and smooth. (Cumulus)

Weights (regular routine)

W-151.5 (I don't remember the last time my weight went up during the week. And it wasn't from eating crap either. I felt stronger today and I wonder if there is some corollation? Maybe extra stuff in recovery drink is allowing body to not steal so much my reserves?)

As far as Boston is concerned you are correct the hills are not very big or long compared to what we have in Utah. However, I think it is more important to train as much as possible on long steady downhill courses more than the uphill training. Everyone talks about Heartbreak Hill. Heartbreak Hill in and of itself is not that big of a deal. I think it is more a combination of when it comes and at that point the amount of steady downhill pounding the legs have put up with. If the legs are trained to handle the steady downhill then they will be fresher come Heartbreak Hill and it will not play much of a factor. If I remember right it seemed like the first 16 miles was mostly downhill and then from 16-21 you do several climbs culminating in Heartbreak Hill and then it is a downhill ride to the finish. Just hope it is not 90'F and you can run a pretty fast time. Just my 02 cents.

Hi Dave,

Steve has some at the store. I think they have some at the rec ccenter also if they have not ran out. I have one here at the office.

Yeah Dave, I think Steve has some of the forms at his store. The cost is $25 if you want me to drop your registration and money off at Classic sometime on my way home from work, I could do that for you, or if you can't get a form from Steve I could pick one up for you. Just let me know how I can help
