Quest For Boston

The run felt better than last weeks 15.5.  No cramping up at all in the legs.  I did a much better job of refueling this run. The last 4 miles were a struggle but they were also the fastest miles of the whole run at about 7:50's. total time was about 2:16 for 8:15's. I'm very happy with the effort and feel much fresher than after last weeks run.

I didn't plan on running today but with temps close to 50,  I couldn't resist. Ended up doing 4.2 with Patrick at lunch time.  Felt really  good.   I hope tommorrow turns out as nice as today with the weather. It makes running so much more enjoyable. :)

3/4 mile warm up followed by 4 x 1 mile with 1/4 jog between, 3/4 cool down.  Miles were run at 6:45's but it was more effort than the clock showed as there was 2 inches of fresh wet snow on the ground and snow still falling.  A lot of slipping. Effort felt good but I found it hard to keep focus with all the bad footing during the tempo part of the run.

Extreme cold today. Schedule called for 8 miles but I cut it short because I couldn't feel my face.  Feeling it now. Ouch.

Switched up my long run this week to set up for Saturdays 20 mile race. I f4elt pretty goo. Weather was nice and I felt like going farther. I hope that's a good sign for next week.
