I felt great again this morning after a good night's sleep. I ran 8 miles in an hour and then cooled down for a few minutes. That was faster than I planned to run. I'm calling it a sort of tempo run. I have felt better than expected after the race. So maybe I didn't push hard enough. :) I think a big part of it is that the weather has energized me.

By the way, I always weigh myself before running in the morning. This time I also weighed myself after and found that I had lost 3 pounds of water weight. That's crazy. But I had a sopping wet t-shirt to prove it. :)

I was in class this morning, and it was a little slow-paced, so I figured out a workout plan for the next 11 weeks before my 10K. I'll continue running 5 days a week, will do two easy days, a tempo workout, a speed workout, and a hill workout. I need to build my speed and hill strength. And I also chose to make it really flexible so that if I don't feel excited to run I can take it easier. Hopefully that way I'll keep motivated.

Congrats to all those who did so well at Boston!
