Started at home and ran out on the trail then jumped on to Riverside Drive and ran to the Maverick. Went on the bike path up to the mall then back in to town and up to the Red Cliffs parkway- ran the back portion of the Ironman course and went to the finish line- Talked with Steve, Clyde and Tom for a few minutes then on to home-

Overall a good run in 37 degree temps and very windy. The wind shifted as it was in my face most of the morning- The first 9 miles were just grind it out slow miles with a lot of climbing, wind and darkness. This is where I say Steve and Clyde and picked up the intensity and pushed the next 6 1/2 miles, not wanting them to catch me.....they didn't.

The going home the last 5 miles I just grinded it out trying to keep close to 8:00 pace-

Average pace for the run was 8:23- this would have put me at 3:39 for a marathon distance- not bad considering the wind and all the hills and not pushing it much at all-

Confidence is growing for Boston- 3 more weeks!
