Relentless

PM - 5 on treadmill at decline.  Started off with a mile at 7:30, then one at 6:58, next one at 6:00, then back to 6:58 and 7:30.  Turnover felt good.  No soreness in knees, foot, or leg.  I'm ready to roll.  Wore Ohana Racers just to get the feel of them since it had been so long since wearing them. (Ohana 26)

PM - 3 PVHS to home. My stupid Jeep wouldn't start again. So I ran home from school after the meet. I should have run more, but I had just about had it. I was tired, hungry, and mad at my car. I just wanted to go to crash. So that was enough. A few more miles won't make or break me now. (Landreth 112)

PM - ran after a very hectic day of trying to get ready to leave for Boston and multiple broken down cars and towing trips to the shop and all sorts of stuff.  So it was very nice to just run - even though it was on the treadmill (I just turned on Lost and enjoyed it).  1 mile warm up at 7:30.  Then decline at 7:30 for a mile.  3 miles decline at marathon (hopefully!) pace 5:52 - okay 6:00 is true marathon pace goal for me, but why not push myself?  Next a mile still at decline at 7:30.  Then recovery mile - flat - at 7:30.  Show wasn't at a commercial so I kept going.  Put it on 2 then 3 percent incline for .25 and then .5 at 4%.  It was fun to go uphill.  (Cumulus 241.75)

AM - 7 on Green Spring loop from home.  Life is nuts right now.  No car, trying to substitute stuff ready, track meet stuff ready, grade stuff ready, kids ready, me ready all to take off this afternoon.  So up early and ran 7 miles.  Felt good.  I liked the early run and enjoyed the nip in the air.  I'm not saying I'll enjoy the NIP in Boston though.  I am stoked for the race and very excited to get on the plane and leave all this behind for a few days - except my girls, I'll miss them too much so I'll not think of that.  Anyway...

Race Number is 1245 for anyone that wants to check up on me.  I am nervous about that though.  Makes me really feel like I have to do well if people are watching my time.  

Good luck to all those others running this weekend - Boston or otherwise. 

Made it to Boston!

Evening run - 5 with Clyde around hotel area up into Chelsea.  Nice weather.  Wish it would hold.  Ave. was 6:50 with a little pickup of pace on the way back. (Glycerin 234.1)

morning - 5 miles with Clyde down to ocean from hotel and along storm wall.  Kind of a cool little run up on the storm wall.  Weather could not be better than this morning.  Too bad race isn't today.  But you live with it. (Glycerin 239.1)
