Things did not work out like Id hoped. Pretty down and shocked and feeling defeated. This was the best training cycle for a marathon in years. I felt like a 3:45 or sub 3:50 were in the bag!  I'm not sure where I went wrong in my training. Maybe not enough uphill training? Veyo and damerron valley jusy wrecked me and I was toast after that. Maybe a Boston Q is out of reach at this point. Its painful to admit that...

Oh well.

Taking some time off.

Out to Gu Corner and then back to the house. Legs wanted to run so I let them. Nice and controlled. My average pace was 8:15 with a total time of 1:06:02... It looks like I peaked a little too late. Oh well.

See you Monday.
