On the road to BOSTON!

After taking a few days off running and doing some rehab, I went out for a slow 3.75 mile run to see how the leg is progressing. It felt alright, not great 8:20 average pace. More rehab and we will see how things are tomorrow.

Afternoon: 4.25 miles out and back on the trail. 8:11 pace

Working on easy miles, shorter distance and twice a day to get the blood working on the healing process while keeping some running going. These are supoosed to be my high mileage week for the next 3......well I may go for 35 this week. :(

Took a drive in to work with Jody Jackson Hughes and ran home. (5.50 miles) Wanted to get a little longer run in with  good temps.My plan as to run 8:00 pace for the run. Legs were feeling good from some rest and I ended up with 7:11 average pace for the run including my warmup mile @ 7:36. Calf has loosened up some and the hammy was taped and loaded with deep-blue essential oil. Never really felt pain but I could tell when to slow down. I feel I am coming back and soon will be out for longer runs to get ready for The Boston Marathon . :)

Ran to Dixie Center then over Tonaquint to Bloomington Drive then right to home. 7.50 miles @ 8:05 pace

Plus I forgot to add yesterday evening 1.50 run that was crappy- Had been working on the yard pulling out trees etc. and didn't have anything left in the tank and was sore from the work- 8:10 pace

PM  Went out for a very easy run in the dark  4miles @ 8:25 pace

10 miles in the bank of Boston- 8:15 average pace- late last night i slugged out 4 miles before bed.

Leg is feeling pretty good with the exception of my left calf- It took about 4 miles for it to finally loosen up.

17 miles in the Bank of Boston- Planned on 17 but hoped to extend to 20.....knee wasn't feeling great so I was satisfied with my effort @ 17- Last 12 miles @ 7:45 pace! Hammy feeling good- about 85%, calf the same. We are on our way back to intense training for Boston...4 weeks to go.

This week ended up much better than I had thought it would be. I was looking at getting may be 10 miles in and neded up with 53.50 so far...may go out later this evening for a few more...
