Easy run around JBH tonight. Legs still a bit stiff after last night's hard tempo run. so no temptation to crank it up. They loosened up some, but still never got below a 9:00 pace even with the downhill on the way home. Just a solid, routine run.
Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of my first marathon, and of Adam Nichol's death. Learned only yesterday that the winners' wreaths given to Leah and to the men's winner last year were made by Adam's mom. I thought that was really nice on her part. She could have blamed Little Rock for her son's death, but she didn't go there. And how things have changed. Struggled to finish in less than five hours then. Blasted four miles in 30 minutes last night with plenty left, and have a BQ to boot. Oh, and I'm probably 25 pounds lighter too. Weighed this afternoon in the office after everyone left; got down to skivvies and socks to do it. Weight 154. I want to take off 5-8 pounds in the next 13 months before Boston. I suspect I will, if I do the kind of mileage I expect to do. |
