Last mid-distance run before Boston. I wasn't feeling that good and it was hot and humid too. The plan called for a 75% effort run at 13 miles so that's what I did. I simply leveled out to a consistant effort with a HR of about 145 and ran the miles. You can see my pace varies 30 seconds based on the terrain of the rolling hills. :-)

No run on Monday and just a couple more short/easy days left.

I believe Tom S, Hillbilly Runner, JG and Myself are all in Wave 2 - Corral 4. Tom K is in Wave 2 - Corral 1 (showoff!).

I'm back in Wave 3/Corral 5. I wish I was starting a half hour sooner like you young fast guys.Just be careful what ever you do not to try to get a full training cycle done in the last week of taper. Adjust your race goals to match your training.

From I Just Run on Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 09:34:59 from 67.79.11.242

Ha ha ... I'll be looking over my shoulder in anticipation of you catching me! Thanks for the advice, my week is pretty easy and I may even cut it down depending on how I feel. I think 7 tomorrow and 4-5 the other days.

From Tom K on Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 09:51:43 from 174.58.4.250

Showoff? Funny stuff. Where's (Un)SlowJoe, RattleTrap, and DerHammer starting?

From I Just Run on Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 11:16:39 from 67.79.11.242

Tom Showoff Special-K,

I believe TurboJoe, Rattle Runner and The Hammer are all in Wave 1. I was trying to keep up with everyone but kinda lost track. I'll find out.

From I Just Run on Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 11:28:18 from 67.79.11.242

SlowJoe - 1/4

DerHammer - 1/7

RattleTrap - 1/3 (I think?)

Looks like your prayers are working. Current forecast of 58/43 mostly cloudy with little wind should mean fast times. Looking forward to tracking your progress 1 week from now.

Hope you enjoyed your rest day....
