I started out with 3 easy miles followed by 2 miles a mp then 1 more easy mile. The goal was to try and feel a nice pace so I can decide how fast to run Saturday. I felt like I was going really easy on the 2 mp miles, but I ended up running them at 7:05 then 6:59. They were both a mild net decline though. I'm thinking 7:15 pace for Saturday, but I may still back that down to the 7:20s. My BQ time is 3:15 which is 7:26, who know? I just hope it isn't too hot Saturday. That would definitely make me back down the pace. Best news is, there doesn't seem to be any aches or pains.

Good luck Rhett. You mentioning the BQ qualifying time makes me think you're targeting Boston 2016.

DRun. I mostly like having a BQ in the bag just in case I decide to sign up. The last few years I haven't done it even though I had a qualifying time. I am considering doing it in 2016 though.

I just saw your time!!! WOW!!!! Does that mean you are going to run Boston 2016???? It's going to be a PARTY!!!!! :-)

Teena, thanks. Unfortunately, even though I BQ'd, I don't think it will be by enough to get me into Boston next year.
