| Last LR is in the books. Went out conservative, worked my way down to 8:47 pace -- and stayed there. Average remained right there for probably 14 miles, until the cellphone ran out of juice and powered off right after the 20-mile update. But since I know I was right by the monastery at 20, I could map the rest on mapmyrun: 1.91 miles. So there's my 21.91. Having to estimate my total time as well, since the phone shut down, but I'm assuming that at worst I maintained the 8:47 average, maybe even a bit of a closing kick in those last two miles. So 21.9 times 527 seconds per mile comes out to approximately 3:12. I'm happy, and I'm ready to go BOTT in Boston. The hard work is done. Taper down, sharpen up and hammer it. |

Six easy with strides in the rain. That about it. Legs felt pretty good after 22 yesterday. |

Took last night off because I was beat. Did the workout tonight I'd planned for last night. Intervals at the track, 5 X 2400 at HMP. Nailed 'em. Each rep faster than the previous one, from 11:16 down to 10:56. Total of 12.44 (20K) with warmup, cooldown and recoveries. I'm really happy with how things are coming together late in the cycle.
Also have another date scheduled with an attorney named Shala. She actually called my back while I was running the first warmup lap. Good to be getting another date so soon, and it'll also be good to have someone for comparison to Kay, as much as I like her,.
For the question on Sunday's blog entry, this is a family forum, so I'm not going to define exactly what BOTT means. But it's the opposite of sandbagging, where you softsell your prospects and then go out and run way faster. I'm setting a very ambitious goal for Boston, and then I'm going to bust it for nearly 3.5 hours on the 18th to reach that ambitious goal. Which may mean that I crash and burn along the way. So be it. That goal: 3:25:00, which should get me safely in for 2012 regardless of the rolling registration. |

| EIght or nine became three, thanks to GI issues and a very late start (no more getting out of work early, I'm afraid). That's OK, I didn't feel very good anyway. |

| Dyslexic tonight. Schedule read 2 X 3 miles at HMP. I thought it said 3 X 2 miles. Not a gigantic difference, I know, especially since the recovery was the same. At first I thought I'd back off and do them at MP. First one was. Second one was HMP, third one was even faster. Splits were 15:37/14:50/14:46. With warm, cool and recovery, total of 10 miles. Went pretty well considering it was well over 75 degrees when I started and probably 73 when I finished. If Patriots Day turns out unusually warm, at least I won't be completely unprepared. Unless it's sunny. |
