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. |

Treadmill in Cambridge, 1% incline. 5.66 mi in 50:15. I felt really good and this workout felt easy. Jammed out to a great song on the last set. :)

Cambridge treadmill 1% incline. A lesson on patience. I think I hit the correct pace. My breathing felt easy, my legs felt fatigued by the last interval. Happy about this run and now a week of all good runs!

| 20 miles on Boston Marathon course
20 miles @ 8:30 min/mi AP, 2:50:09
Boston course miles 23 to 13 to 23. I wasn't paying attention to my watch and ran an effort that was similar to last week (minus MP effort). I was really surprised this was such a faster pace. The Barrington hills (outside Chicago) are definitely harder than the course. I hit heartbreak hill around mile 18 of my run and it really was not that bad!! I finished feeling like I could have run a few more miles. :)
