5m at 6:00 then 4m at marathon pace of 5:35. The trick is that all 9 miles were up and down. I have a one mile loop at my house that is all up and down...good practice for Boston. Hit all my times and felt pretty good doing it.

Final workout. 4+1. A steady, cold rain. Hit the four all in the 5:30-5:32 range and closed out the final mile in 4:58. Everything felt really really good. Feeling ready.

Five and a half easy miles along the Charles River. Threw in 6 strides for good measure. Absolutely perfect running conditions today. Hoping for more of the same on Monday.

All the hay is now in the barn. Bring on Monday.
