Typical 10k to Farmington and back.  Allergies.  I came home and rubbed my eyes for a while.  Foam rolling might have been better.

5 on the treadmill.  Winter came back for one last gasp, so we built some awesome, anatomically correct snowpeople.  After my daughter knocked off all the parts, we got everyone to bed, and I hopped on.  Everything feels pretty good.  Looking forward to Monday!!

now that I have my april running logged, it looks like a pretty aggressive taper....  We were on vacation in St. George for a week, and my activity level isn't accurately reflected by 20 mile weeks.  Tami had me playing tennis 2 hours a day.  I guess we'll see how it plays out on Monday.  I'll be well rested and recovered, for sure, erring on the side of undertrained.  But that's been the case ever since the end of Feb. when I hurt my knee skiing.  Note to self:  don't ski in the middle of a semi-serious marathon training cycle.

I'll guess my range will be 3:25-3:35.  It would be nice to requalify, but the training just isn't there.  Keeping it under 8 minute pace; well, that's somewhat respectable.  At this point it doesn't matter, and I'd rather run 3 minutes slower and enjoy the race than run 3 minutes faster and be totally wiped out. 

Good luck to everyone running SLC on Saturday and Boston on Monday.  Weather looks perfect for both.

Ran around industrial parks in Burlington MA just to see if I still knew how.
