30 minutes weights
Such an awesome tempo/progression run this morning. Totally the confidence boosting run that I needed right now in my training. My legs were feeling nice and fresh after 3 easy days in a row. I did just .5 mi warmup and then gradually went into the tempo. 7:35, 7:30, 7:24, 7:24, 7:19, 7:13, 7:09, 7:04, 6:58, 6:48. My friend Candice ran next to me on the treadmill for the first 4 and they totally flew by. I was glad she was there because I kept wanted to push the pace (I felt so good) but talking to her helped me to stay at a conservative/chatty effort. After she left I got focussed and down to business. I felt like I could have kept going but knew this was more than what I wanted and I needed to be smart. Treadmill incline for first 5 mi was 1.5%, next 3 @ 1%, and last 2 at .5% incline.
Bib #13745 for Boston!!! I think it is finally starting to become real to me that I will be running the Boston Marathon! So incredibly surreal.
