| Ran 3 1 mile intervals, fast - 6:45, easy - 8:51, medium - 7:45 ... it was 3:00 - 86 degrees
Basically I have not run since Boston (40 miles total - 13 of which came 2 days after running Peachtree like an idiot & hurting my knee). I have played some soccer, but seems like every time I do the knee pain resurfaces, don't have any idea what the specific issue is.
Life has been hectic ... started a new job, also working at Home Depot part time, my son moved in with me full-time Aug, 22, and while I am attempting to reestablish some type of running routine, basically I am exhausted ... but maybe running will help ... just have to make the time for it!
I guess I also need to start logging runs on here again too ... because apparently I am not very good at holding myself accountable ... so I need your guys support & encouragement! Honestly, without the help of this blog I never would have reached the level I did with running & I am thankful to all on here for that. It will be a long road back ... I guess I will find out in about 10 days if my April Boston performance of 3:22:18 (2:41 seconds faster than my required qualifying time) will be enough to be honored to go back in 2014! Registration is filling up at a record pace, so not exactly holding my breath, but am hopeful because there is nothing like a target race to get the mojo flowing again!

| Cooler weather arriving ... I think I can do this!
7:41, 7:11, 9:37
Even with all my time off there is a little discomfort in my knee, will have to be a gradual buildup

| 8:37 ... Fast finish ... Alex joined me for a mile before school ... getting that to happen is like pulling teeth ... but one mile is better than none! He did score a goal in his soccer game yesterday, perhaps that little bit of glory will motivate him to continue to work on his fitness. I will go to his 2 hour practice tonight ... and hopefuly get in an easy 6 or 7 miles ... I guess I have to wait until Wednesday to find out if I will be running Boston in 7 months!
Evening 5.6 miles - Fowler Park - 7:48, 7:09, 7:47, 8:34, 7:37, cooldown 0,6 miles

| Back to Boston in '14. 6 months to prepare to secure a spot in '15, with a BQ-5 ... Or if training goes well, perhaps I will pick a flat marathon in Dec or Jan, to try to get moved up into Wave 1. For now, just happy to get 3 miles in & be invited back. 8:21, 7:42, 7:24 | | Comments(3) |

| Went out for a quick 3 before lunch. First mile was a little faster than expected, then with ,4 to go in second mile I realized I was hovering just under 7 min pace, so decided to establish a 2 mile benchmark ... 13:59 ... next up ... 13:40
7:12, 6:47, 8:11 cooldown
