46F, no wind!  7:06 AP.  It was definitely the right move to push this workout back to today.  I went down to the track and did 3 x 3200m with an easy lap (~2 min jog) between the repeats.

12:34  (6:17, 6:17)

12:30  (6:17, 6:13)

12:16  (6:11, 6:05)

6:13 AP on the repeats overall, right in the LT sweet spot.  Felt good, very smooth.  And it better have, I had like 4 days off.  I was going to do 16 total miles, but the achilles griped a little so I just ran straight home and it worked out to 14.  Not worried about it - I'm jogging around in trainers for the next few days anyway, and only have 1 workout left.  Taper time!

Good move on pushing this back a day. Schedules are merely to guide you... when you really learn how to train, you learn to be flexible... you did that and it worked out great.

Good stuff, Joe. Over 1k for mileage for the year already too. 2 weeks out is a great place to be. Nothing else to be done other than easy runs and a little, final workout.

All I have to say is WoooHooo...!!!

Great session Joe - you've gotta be buzzing now. My toes are tingling with excitement: can't wait to see you mash up Boston:)

From Tracy on Mon, Apr 01, 2013 at 19:53:33 from 50.103.236.137

Great workout, Joe! I bet it feels good to be in the final stretch!

Perfect weather ('bout time!) and a perfect workout. Great consistency and finish, too.
