PM:  78F, 53%.  4 @ 7:40 AP.  included 5 x 1 minute @ 3k-5k pace, 90 sec jogs.  My legs pretty much mocked me the whole time..."you wanna do WHAT?  LOL"  And they actually said L-O-L instead of just laughing, which annoyed me even more.

AM:  60F, 73%.  14 @ 7:23 AP.  Took advantage of a rare spring morning - I ran 1 hour easy, then 7 x (3 min on / 1 min off).  I just did this on the trail with Garmin instead of at the track.  The "on's" averaged 5:58 pace (6:12, 5:56, 5:58, 5:57, 5:48, 5:57, 5:56).  So yeah, that first one felt awful, but it was a good rustbuster and at least I know I haven't completely fallen out of touch with workout paces.  Cooldown was ~2 miles.

PM:  77F, 52%.  4 @ 8:08 AP.

AM:  68F, 90%.  6 @ 9:06 AP.  ahhhhh.  Dropped a couple 8:40s at the end though, no big deal.

PM:  73F, 79%.  4 @ 8:18 AP.  I did 2, count em, 2 strides.  Hopefully I didn't overdo it.

AM:  67F, 98%, fog.  7 @ 8:38 AP.  It was, like, raining inside the fog, man.

PM:  71F, 90%.  4 @ 8:35 AP.  Long run: maybe tomorrow, maybe Sunday.

I got my pre-race invite from the folks who live in Hopkinton, right on Main St, again this year.  I let them know I wouldn't make it but I'd probably be back next year...that is the best pre-race set up in the history of pre-race setups.  I'm not sure what the elites get at Boston but it cannot possibly be better than Jacki and Jim's place.
