45F, 7:43 AP.  Tired legs still, but the second half was ok I guess.  I have the recovery ability of an 80-year-old woman, so I guess I'm right on schedule given that.

31F, N 16 mph, 8:12 AP.  Couldn't quite get the 8-minute guy today, but will battle the 5:40 guy tomorrow.  Should be interesting (16 x 400).

26F.  Weeeell, I came down with a little illness which is why my last few runs felt so terrible.  I woke up on this morning feeling crappy and weighing a few pounds lighter.  So, naturally, I still went to the track to try a 16 x 400.  Wow.  I won't bore you with the details but I did not make it far before I resigned myself to sadly jogging many right-hand circles in lane 8.  Decided right then to sleep in on Thursday and take the day off.  Not a great start to Boston training, but what can ya do...

53F, 7:39 AP.  Felt better today, the day off running helped (and the extra sleep.)  Got my 3 lbs back, which I needed.  I think I'm in the gunk-ejection stage now, and hopefully can do a little bit of an MP workout on Sunday...not the full 18 w/10, but maybe a few less.
