3 miles easy plus strides and drills.  That's pretty much all she wrote for this season.  Just the Turkey trot on Thursday then 5 days off then the Boston build-up.

I wanted to run this charity race as a last attempt to hit a 5K PR this fall before the long buildup for Boston.  I took it out in 5:04 in first because no one else wanted to push the pace. Hit two in 10:12 and died after the winner and 2nd place passed me.  I was pushing but I could tell that I didn't have the speed skills under my belt for this one.  10K was a much better race and a better distance for the training that I've put in. 

I still PRed and it was all in all a good way to spend Thanksgiving morning. 

I am going to take 5 days completely off.  With the holiday and days off from work who knows how much weight I'll gain!  But I plan on lifting and doing some core work then start running next week.  

I have my Boston plan all made up already.  I've adapted the Hanson's Marathon Method advanced program to my mileage goals.  It's going to be tough and I'll have to stay focused but I will emerge a different runner come April.  A sub 16:00 5K will be cake then if I'm still standing.

Sitting here on a beautiful day forcing myself not to run.  I'm not even sore from yesterday.  I was destroyed after Veteran's Day.  Hell I might just start back a few days early with easy 5 milers or something. No running today.

successfully had the day off.  I ended up drinking beer and had some late night fast food which I quit doing when I was training.  It tasted amazing but my stomach hurts this morning. I used to eat like this all the time.  ugg.  Trying to stay sane for the next few days and not worry about too much or a little weight gain.  After 6+ months of training it almost feels like I've lost a friend.  I know my muscles, joints and ligaments need the deep rest but I don't really like it. I'm sure a few weeks into training I'll be feeling dead wishing for a day off.  Life is ironic.
