On the road to BOSTON!

4 miles out and back- Knee is sore and feels weak. Had to take it very easy and kept the pace to 8:30 to 8:40. I am hopinf this will go away soon. I need to get some nileage in over the next couple of weeks......

5.50 from downtown to home- 7:35 average pace including warm up mile @ 8:40

Knee is feeling stronger today.....

7.25 miles running on the lame knee. About the same as yesterday....Mile 7 it started feeling better, or maybe I was just getting used to it. (8:03 average pace)

9 1/2 miles @ 7:55 average pace. Felt pretty good this morning- still have a long way to go to be prepared for Boston and only have 3 weeks to go....

The knee is stronger and not as much pain. Right now I am feeling okay about the knee getting better. The hammy was a bit tender today. The biggest problem I have in running Boston is endurance with the lack of solid training and the feet are not as used to the miles as last year.....hopfully I can get everything together at the right time.

16.50 Miles in the Bank of Boston- 8+ of those with Deborah P Brown . Went out slow to get warmed up for the first 5+ miles. Then put in 2 miles @ 7:12 pace, then 8.50 miles @ 7:46 pace. Last night I wasn't sure if I should even run. I went in for a deep tissue massage to get the hammy worked out and didn't know if I should run on it. Glad I did. The knee was great and the hammy did very well considering. Would have liked to gt 20 miles but I had to go with the body and accept a solid run. 3 weeks to The Boston Marathon .
