On the road to BOSTON!

Bloomington clockwise 8:03 average

8:25/ 8:11/ 8:08/ 7:49/ 7:47

Same as last night- cold starting to set in- after 1.65 I was averaging 9:06 sooooo slow. I saw someone at mile 2 and decided to push it harder. I averaged around 7:30 after that to beat them.They had 1 1/2 to go and I had 2 1/2 and caught them with around 40 feet to spare.

8:10 average pace

Started at the Stake Center on Bluff- ran up to the Ledges Overpass with 8:30 pace, then restarted the Garmin and continued up the trail 1 1/4 miles then turned and ran back to the church averaging 7:28 on that leg. Beautiful day to run 55 degrees!

PM: tried out my new K-Swiss Blade Light's- Love em so far- 7:30 average pace  8:01/ 7:28/ 7:16/ 6:54  For the first run they were very comfortable and seemed to help give me some kick-

AM: 5.10 mile Bloomington Loop- zero energy today- 8:37 pace yesterdays run took more out of me than I thought it would. Rest the legs today and try an evening run-

Easy miles around Bloomington- 8:23 pace resting up for a long run in the morning-

AM: Over Tonaquint into town pas the Temple then above Dixie College and down River Road. Turned out towards Washington Fields to treasure valley park for a pit stop. Then back towards River Road past Clyde's house over to Desert Hills High and home. Talked to Wild Bull for a second and Amber Green. Great morning for a long run.

Love the K-Swiss shoes. Feet a bit sore but I had pretty good energy at the end of the run. I was thinking that I was slowing down the last 2 miles and I was actually running my fastest miles of the run. 2 more long runs before Boston!  8:26 average pace

Overall I am feeling pretty good about Boston. The legs are feeling very good after a couple of weeks with mileage on them. The feet are doing tons better but they will always be my challenge. I am hoping that the last week before Boston I can rest them up real good so I can manage a solid race. I am thinking that I would like to at least run a 8:00 to 8:15 pace for the race.
