I ended up not running today.  It was a combination of things I suppose. 1) the hard 15 yesterday 2) the ice skating session yesterday evening 3) the extraordinary amount of beer I had last night 4) pure laziness.

I know that as the marathon gets closer I will have to start changing some things. My new resolution is to drink less beer.  Too much beer just makes me tired and lazy the next day.

Great workout this morning.  It was also warm, 44 degrees so I didn't have to wear tights. Beautiful outside.

10 easy.  I was running along and I looked ahead and saw a huge dead squirrel on the path.  When I got closer, I realized it was a rat.  The thing was massive.  A giant, massive, sick, bloody, Georgetown super rat. Still cleaner than most of the people hanging out in the Capitol building.

2 mile WU

7 mile tempo at 5:50s pace

2 mile CD

Well today was cold in the morning so I bundled up in tights, hats, gloves, under armor, etc. It took awhile to get warmed up. I had a tempo run on the docket at projected goal marathon pace.  It was a rough one but I think that's because I didn't do a better job of pacing.  I always end up going too fast i.e. 5:30s 5:40s, or too slow 6:00s but I got it right by the third mile.  It's hard to nail the 5:50s so I have to pay attention. You can see from my splits that my paces were a little messed up this time around. oh well, I still averaged a pretty decent pace even with the cold and extra clothes.

8:04 (WU), 7:01 (WU), 5:55, 6:04, 5:36, 5:55, 5:53, 5:55, 5:52, 7:14 (CD), 7:29 (CD)

wow is it beautiful out. 50 degrees, calm and sunny! I really got after it today and I amazingly felt great! I can tell I am getting faster. Besides the mile with that huge ass hill, I averaged low 6:1Xs the last 4 miles!

7:15, 7:11, 6:58, 6:45, 6:45, 6:38, 6:30, 6:28, 6:35, 6:31, 6:29, 6:23, 6:18, 6:12, 6:48, (3:27 for last .50) 

I hope Boston has weather exactly like this!  There is no better weather than starting in mid mid 40s and ending at 50 degrees on a calm day.
