Quest For Boston

LSD this morning.  I had planned on running with a couple of other people this morning but they didn't show.  It was a little disappointing but did allow me to up my tempo a bit.  I started out with a soar and tight achilles on the left foot but it felt good after a couple of miles.  The right knee was also soar but loosened up pretty quickly.  I'll have to keep an eye on these spots over the next couple weeks.  I did run into Racheal about 7 miles in and that forced me to slow down over the last 5 miles or so.  13.1 in 1:47:40.  8:13 per mile.  The first 8 were sub 8 minute.

Two straight days of high heat and humididty at work digging ditches and I did not want to get out and run today.  I forced myself out the door and did a semi-hard short run.  The achilles felt a little better but the knee was about the same.  I'm glad I went out and ran as I felt better afterwards.  4.6 in 36:15 at 7:50 pace.

5 easy recovery miles today.  My first back to back run in a while.  My left knee was definetly feeling a little punky but after about 2 miles felt better.

Friday night run with the group.  Easy miles followed by beer and buffalo chicken wings.  I love Friday nights!
 

12.5 lsd with Marylee and Chantelle.  They were doing 20 so we were a little slower than usual.  Feeling good a couple hours later.  It's a nice change.
