12 miles @ 7:43 ap with couple cd miles heading home. I am very pleased with this run, wanted to keep it around 8:00 or a little under, most times I looked at my watch I consciously slowed a little. 7:45 pace is my goal at Boston as it will qualify me to return in '14 & go sub 3 ... assuming I can stay injury free or at least manage them so they don't blow my base like they did last year. 3 miles to Piedmont Park, 4 2 mile loops (half on oval track & half on the ABG hill loop, then 3 back home. The 4 miles on the soft surface track are really helpful to me! 1 - 8:06 2 - 7:50 3 - 7:51 4 - 7:29 (track) 5 - 7:48 6 - 7:44 (track) 7 - 7:42 8 - 7:34 (track)
9 - 7:44 10 - 7:35 (track) 11 - 7:32 (track ... decided to bypass last hill loop & stay on track before heading home) 12 - 7:36 13 - 8:29 14 - 8:50 Watch died at 13.5 ... that is about the life of my battery these days! Mid 50's & sunny ... supposed to hit 70 on Tuesday! :)
