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.

40-45 mins easy

I felt adventuresome so decided to go exploring in downtown boston on my easy run. Ran down Beacon street to Boston Commons then out towards Funeil hall (didn't know the President will be there this am!!) then back up Longfellow into Cambridge. I started with a slightly tight right hammie, so tried to focus on not overstriding on that side. I don't know what it is about hills, but my legs always feel better after running them. I finished feeling like I had strong, football player legs. A new route I will definitely go back to!

Instead of static stretching after my run I tried out some "Active Isolated Flexibility" stretches since I am now scared I fray my attachments with static. Haha:

It felt good and I loosened up, so I guess I'll give it a whirl for the next couple weeks.

Finished up with some serious foam rolling and hardcore core and upper body work only since my PT is going to obliterate my right glute later today.
