AM: North side - 5.25 miles, averaged 8:12. Trying to keep it on the turtle end of the lawnmower scale until Saturday, with a brief sharpening workout this afternoon or tomorrow.

Still thinking about Monday, of course. 

PM: North side - 7.9 miles, averaged 7:19 w/ 6 x 400m @ half marathon goal pace as a sharpening workout. Basically ended up about 1:30 on/off x 6. A little fast, but not too bad. Legs feel okay, but the range of motion isn't there, so I did some strides and they responded beautifully. Pushed it down to low 4:20 pace. They felt really good.

Great workout!

Crazy how Monday's events aren't leaving the mind at all yet.. Hits pretty close to home in a sense.

Just checking out your last workout over the weekend, very nice. I'd put money on sub-1:21. Excited to see how it goes this weekend.

Matt: I'm from New England and know people in the area. Crazy. Tragic.

Joe: thanks. I think I'm ready for it. If I run smart it should be there. Weather looks too kind once again, but I will not complain.
