Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
5.25	0.00	0.00	0.00	5.25

North side - 5.25 miles, averaged 7:48. Did a couple strides.

Going to switch my nightly steamed vegeteble from broccoli to sweet potato starting tonight #taperjustgotreal

I think I run my strides too fast and for not a long enough period of time. Today I ran just 4 but they started around mile pace (5:05), then cut down to a pace for a distance (maybe 400 pace) I will never run @ 4:25. Helpful perspective that Rob posted to Twitter found here. Thinking beyond Boston and developing my top-end speed, form, efficiency and so on.

I ate a big red candle.

Great read by Rob. Looks like I need to slow down, too. And do strides more often.
