On the road to BOSTON!

12.75 miles in the bank on Monday morning- After a big week last week of 84.20 miles I am going to ease off a little this week and hold things to 70sh and let the legs rest a bit. Boston training is going great so far, I just wish it was sooner....

Went our very slow this morning and didn't want to push anythin, just get the mileage in. I started the first 3 miles @ 9:05 pace, very slow, then just got into a groove around 8;20 and then hit it a bit harder to the end with a couple of miles @ 7:10 pace to have a 8:20 average for the run.

10.90 miles: 1.50 warm up @ 7:49 pace then 5 mile tempo @ 7:05 pace then 4.40 mile cooldown @ 7:49 pace Overall it was just ok....the tempo run I had to make 2 pit stops, gut not doing great after pizza and cake last night....

No energy today----7 miles but it felt like 20.  8:08 pace

10 miles this morning- felt much better than yesterday's run! Decided to do a progression run. 8:13 warmup/7:46/ 7:31/ 7:26/ 7:09/ 7:11/ 6:38/ 6:33/ then cooled it down.  average 7:18 pace

13 1/2 muggy miles in the bank @ 7:47 pace tried a new insole to relieve pressure on the ball of my foot----bad idea on a longer run. Did't help at all, would have felt better with out it.

20.50 early morning miles- cool, muggy.....Ran 6.50 miles up to the start of the Dogtown half marathon course then ran 12 of the miles then to the car.....8:30 average going up and 7:52 average for the last 14. (75 mile week)
