3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :)

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

AM: Nice and easy morning run. My muscles are a little sore from the last couple days, it feels really nice! The river was gorgeous and so was the weather, although I was a little bummed I couldn't find any marathon banners along the river - I heard they were put up yesterday, Boston runners get stoked! I tried to focus on my form in my new Kinvaras. Towards the end of the run I got into a good groove of forefoot/midfoot striking. My last mile was probably a little too fast (8:15) but I blame the shoes cause the effort wasn't there. AP 8:48 min/mi.

PM: 4 easy miles on the treadmill at 1% incline with 5x0.1 mile strides, 8:41 min/mi pace for the majority of the run. Strides were 6:00 min/mi pace. 8:41 min/mi pace felt so slow and I kept running into the handle bars. I was happy to hit the strides and stretch out my legs. Strides were really weird at first in these super light shoes, but when I felt more comfortable I realized it didn't feel so much like a 6:00 min/mi pace!!
