Time to get back in the saddle, ran 3X1 at 11.8,12.1,12.5 then 800 at 12.8, 400 at 13.4, and 400 at 14. That should send a message to the legs.

It's good to run like the monster again, no holding back. I went out with Fritz and the lead group, tremendous depth today. No trouble hanging as usual for the first half mile, the dropped back a small amount at the mile(5:18). I had a surge of energy in the second mile and I felt like I might catch them (5:17) but I didn't. That would have messed with their heads! I did the flat mile at 5:43 so I knew I as in great aerobic shape after Boston, still waiting to see if the glucose had filled back up. Then Brandon and his group caught up with me and dragged me another mile at 5:30, he was looking good! I dropped back about 100 feet and got dragged 3 more miles (5:42, 5:45, 5:54) then Brandon had some minor issues and stopped several times so I could get a little surge each time he passed (5:49). Very nice. But Boston caught up with me by mile 8 so I was down a little bit on the energy for the rest of the race, but still able to turn it over with some consistency (6:04 6:04 6:09 5:59) - you woudn't even know there was a hill in there! Mile 13 I was really starting to feel it so I eased off a little (6:09) but still had a nice kick at the ending .1 (4:58). Very satisfied with the race, but 40 seconds slower than last year. I should be completely back for the Timp Trail Half though.
