On the road to BOSTON!

Easy steady pace to DC and back- Legs feel good after the 18 on Saturday. Hoping the body is ready for a PR marathon on Saturday....... 8:10 average pace

Doubled down this afternoon. Looked like rain was cming so I went out in the wind. On th last mile it began to rain---felt great

Went out for an early morning run down the course with Justin Robins. First 1 1/2 mile was around 8:00 pace then up Winchester I started tofocus a little more and picked up the pace a bit faster. I didn't look at the garmin the whole run.....went with an easy steady pace, letting the body choose the pace. I felt great the whole run. Light misty rain felt wonderful. Average pace for the run was 7:09 with the last 7.65 miles @ 7:00 pace. I felt like I was going to be around 7:30 so I was suprised to see that number.

Massage in an hour then keep the body injury free and rested til Saturday!

Ran the Big CottonWood Marthon this morning- Went in to this without a lot of confidence....but had what I feel a good game plan for me. Let the body decided the pace, not the garmin. We started 30 minutes late, so that was not good. Temps were really nice for all the bad weather there has been in Salt Lake.

Splits: 6:46/ 6:52/ 6:47/ 6:47/ 7:01/ 6:56/ 6:56/ 6:52/ 7:22/ 7:01/ 7:12/ 6:53/ 6:44/ 6:24/ 7:03/ 6:23/ 6:49/ 6:50/ 7:41/ 8:01/ 8:50/ 10:11/ 8:53/ 8:39/ 9:52/ 9:51/ 9:04/ final .26 @ 7:21

Went out just taking it easy and letting the downslope guide the pace. I hung with the 3:15 pace group for around 8 miles if I remember right. Then I started to pull away and decidied to keep them behind me as long as possible, without pushing hard. The pacer passed me around 24, without anyone running with him. The top 18 miles were the sweetest miles I have ever run in a race! The last 6 miles were a beast! Just tried to survive......Race of my lifetime and I am now registered for Boston 2014 and waiting for a confirmation. 10:19 better than my qualify time
