| On paper this run looks fine but in "real life" it didn't feel that good. My legs seemed sore and stiff. My HR as also very sporadic, it kept jumping from 120's to 160's in the first 1-3 miles. Finally after mile 3 it settled down to normal for the effort. This morning (Monday) they feel better than they did yesterday before the run.
Two weeks from right now I'll be waiting to start my 1st Boston Marathon. I'm excited...It should be fun!

| Would anyone like to meet up in Boston on Sunday morning at The Marathon Scarf Project? It is held at the Boston's Old South Church and will have a ceremony that will "bless the runners and wish them Godspeed and a safe run". I believe they have two services. I'm not sure what time each one starts so we can decide which to go to. You can find out a little more about this at:
http://www.ucc.org/news/boston-marathon-scarf-project-02212014.html
Let me know if you're interested and we can set some final plans. We could also go to breakfast or lunch depending on which service we go to. :-)
Now for today's run. I would have run this LR on the weekend but I still wasn't feeling that good so I waited until today. I ran my fast 7 miles @ 7:09 so I was happy with that. I tried to run slow enough to bring my HR down to around 140 on the last 5 miles.

The horse is made ready for the day of battle,

The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

| This was a fun run! I haven't done any real speed work in months so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. This was one of the workouts from one of the two plans I've been working from. The goal was 3 interval fast miles with easy recovery between. The other plan called for 3 fastish miles sandwiched between warm-up and cool-down. I opted for this workout because I wanted to run the faster miles. It called for the 3 fast miles to be at 5K pace. I'm not really sure what my 5K pace is so I decided to make it 6:00. :-)
Pretty pleased with the results. I could have gone a little faster on each mile but wanted it to be more realistic to what I think my current 5K pace is. Fast mile 1 is slightly down hill, mile 2 is slightly up hill and mile 3 is basically flat. Fun to see a 5:XX there! (I'm kinda wondering what my mile PR could be.)

| Recovery run. 5 miles at a very slow pace, walked a little, streatched a little. Probably needed this since my body wasn't used to running fast miles as I did yesterday.
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

| 6 Easy miles out and back on fm 1339 to hwy 123. Don't usually run this way because it's just an out and back and more traffic. (more traffic means one care every 5-10 minutes). It was pretty warm and humid and I ran later in the morning.
As far as tapering...I'm not feeling very good. My legs feel heavy and I seem to be stiff and a little sore all over. I don't really remember exactly but I think I've felt like this before when I tapered. Hope it goes away soon!
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
