PM: 10+ miles. Felt great, ~7:02 average.
Also watched the Boston Marathon! Jordan Hasay ran incredibly well. Her last 5k was right around 16 minutes and negative split the race finishing in 2:23- she certainly has a 2:20 in her. On the men's side, it was nice to see SIX Americans in the top 10 spots... although 3 of those are non-American born products... so let's not get too excited. Still cool. Rupp looked strong finishing in second- 22 seconds back- but he had no real chance against Kirui. Kirui was straight up racing the whole way and could just follow game plan from mile 22 onward- creating a gap and holding it.
Fun race to watch, however, I wish Mutai, Korir, (and even Tsegay) had actually bothered racing after 25k. I know they get paid to come (as well as often win money for placing), but it's like watching Lebron James dog it in a regular season game- it's cool, but let's just move to the NBA finals to see the real deal.
