Every Run is a Great Run!

Taper time. No run today but did get 30 min XT + core at the gym and a nice walk with Kimi in the evening.

Went out at 9 with Kimi on a beautiful spring morning. Nice & sunny around 45-50 degrees and very little wind. Only downside was my old man legs were so tight and my shins kept bugging me. Hopefully the massage therapy Kim and I did today will help things out and put us in good shape for Boston!

Five in the early morning. Also went for a walk at work before lunch and in the late afternoon probably around 3 miles.

Early morning run including 4 hill repeats. Also did some core work in the evening. Feeling lots of fatigue lately for no good reason. Perhaps allergies are tiring me out my eyes are itching like crazy today.

Went to the gym at work just before lunch. Had planned on doing 30 min XT but ended doing 10 min XT + 2 mile run on the dreadmill. Also did some core.

Had a nice time pacing this race with Kimi. Perfect weather and a fun although challenging course. I was glad we were pacing and not racing. My ultra training book says I need to get used to running slower than I'm used to so this run and Boston in 9 days with lots of 10 min miles should be just dandy. The slower pace makes my ornery hamstrings happy too so that's nice.

We had a couple runners stay with most of the way and sometimes a few others would join in. I think most of them finished 30s or so ahead of us. Nice!
