This morning it was 15 degrees but now wind. I got 7 hours of sleep last night and felt pretty good in the morning. My run was good, and I felt I had a lot of energy, but I do need to foam roll my legs out tonight. I ran 11.2 miles at overall 6:43 in 1:15. I wanted to run something different so I ran down everyone of our side streets up and down each block until I hit the end by a major intersection.

I'm going to do my long run tomorrow so I'm not sure if I should do anymore miles today since its a cut back week for SLC marathon. What do you think?

Nice run. I agree that if you are hitting a long run tomorrow, no need to do more today as you are already at 60 miles! Then go lighter again over the weekend. Are you planning a 2 week taper? About 60 miles next week and 35-40 heading into the race on 4/19?

Thanks Jeff for your advice I won't run anymore today and save my legs for the 17-18 miler tomorrow.

I'm sorry we couldn't hook-up over the weekend, but there will be plenty of opportunities.

Hey, I sure dont envy your weather right now buddy! Im sure youll kick some butt on slc. I actually have been debating the same issue for cutting back for boston. I feel like I need to put in 4 more 15 milers and at least 2 more 20+ but I only have 18 days till boston so I'll have to see.

From wheakory on Thu, Apr 03, 2008 at 13:16:36

Walter - I hope you have a blast in Boston. Are you going to go see a game while your there?

I don't feel ready for SLC and your right I feel I need to get more long runs in. Oh well all you can try to achieve is what you put into it.

Yeah I scored 6 tickets to the 22nd of april game against the angels. 2 of them were given to me! This guy heard through a friend that I was coming to do the marathon and he just gave them to me! Ill have to think of something clever to give him because he refuses to accept money.

Sweet deal about the Sox/Angels game, Walter. I had forgotten that you were running Boston, any goal time in mind?

From Walter on Thu, Apr 03, 2008 at 19:31:10

Hey jeff, my goal time is 2:08! Actually I have 2 goals, 1) Break 2:40, If I feel good then 2) go for 2:35. Im pretty sure I can do that realistically even though I havnt gotten very many long runs in.
