On the road to BOSTON!

With all the wind last night I had decided not to run early. Got up and rain on the way so I went out. Did my Bloomington 5 mile loop. The rain had just started and the winds were not too bad. Got about a mile into the run and the winds picked up and the rain got heavier. Good workout in the wind and rain. I was able to keep my average pace to 8:21 for the run and considering the strong headwinds I felt pretty good.

Ran to SunRiver then to River Road to Brigham Road to home. 7:38 average pace- Legs feel great feet a little sore but overall great run.

Ran into Dixi High over to River Road then up to the Chevron then into Bloomington Hills over to Pilot to home. 8:18 average pace. Concentrated more on nice controlled pace without making rest stops.

9PM run around Bloomington Drive- 8:05 pace

Easy grind it out mileage. Went up Sugar Leo to Pilot then over to Bloomington Hills to River Road. Onto River Road and then looped a subdivision going past Clyde's home and then back out to River past Desert Hills High to home. Had a nice push down the steep hill to Pilot hitting 5:28 pace then I was dead the rest of the way home. Averaged 8:16 pace

PM: After watching the Cougs get beat I went out and ran another 4 miles- The legs are pretty heavy and the tank is empty. Good week so far for mileage, hoping to hit 75 for the week and start coasting down-

Drove into work with my wife and ran from downtown St. George to River Road then up River Road to the Chevron at Bloomington Hills, through the subd. to the trail over the river to home. No garmin today but it timed out to be about 8:00 pace. The body felt very good today-

Went out at 6am and ran from home out to Tuacahn- 12 miles- I went up to see a few friends as they prepared for the 5k race. I then ran over to Gubler BallPark in Santa Clara for some softball with the single adult stake, cooked 120 burgers and tons of hotdogs. Now I was chilled to the bone and stiff, changed clothes and watched my son play rugby in the rain.

Overall my pace was 8:40- The 12 to Tuacahn where mostly uphill and worked me over pretty good but I was actually getting faster after I reached the half way mark-

For me this was massive mileage. This is the peak for my Boston training and now I will start tapering down to the race. The body feels great and I feel that I am as ready as I can be for a marathon, now I need the planets to be in perfect alignment, everone's fingers crossed etc. to go out and have a great race!
