Ran 7 miles outside- beautiful morning!

1/2 mile warm-up/then stretch...

6 miles on certified course in 39:58 (6:40 pace)...

3/4 mile cool-down...

Course had 1 steep downhill (1/4 mile) and 2 semi-steep inclines (.3 miles and .4 miles)...overall felt good about the effort and this will probably be my last mp run over 3 miles. Plan on running 10-miles Monday, but at an easier pace. Everything else will be in the 4-7 mile range at easy pace w/a few strides throw in.

Great run! Good confidence builder, and keep that confidence and faith high.

God will honor those that have worked hard and you sure have.

Have a wonderful Easter Sunday.

It's been a while since I've been to your blog. Just wanted to wish you well at Boston.

Kory, thanks! Does my plan for the next week seem ok? I am feeling confident, but don't want to overdo things in the last week.

Burt, I appreciated your encouragement. I check in on your blog and have not only noticed your improvements, but enjoy your banter with fellow bloggers. You are definitely one of the more colorful people on the blog!

Good plan with one change. I would do a dress rehearsal run on either Wednesday/Thursday. This is; wear what your going to wear in Boston for the race (weather permitted, shoes included) and then do 2 miles at mp in a 4-7 mile run. This gives you the last feel for your MP miles before the race.

I've done this in every marathon.

Kory, I will do this...thank you for the advice.
