Next to last workout before Boston. 5+1. All five were in the 5:25-5:30 range and I did them on the rolling hills of the business park. Last mile was in 5:08.

It was pretty windy today so I felt good considering.

Weather forecast remains partly sunny and low 40s to start and low 50s for a high. No forecast on wind but things are shaping up to be perfect weather wise.

For my last run prior to the race, I returned to the Newton Hills where everything fell apart five years ago. Ran from Mile 18 ust past BC and then back. Through in a few strides for good measure. I feel as ready as one can be.
