Quest For Boston

8.8 miles in 1:10 7:56 pace

Day after a 5k.  I used to take these days off but a 5k just doesn't seem to bother me much anymore.  That's nice to say.  Maybe I'm running them too slowly.  If only I had another gear.  After Boston I may have to seriously think about finding some more leg speed.

     Dave and I went out fairly easily for the first 3.5 but ended up finishing the last 5 in 7:40's.  Not exactly ideal long run pace but it really wasn't much of a long run.  Felt great with no feeling of going too fast.

7.5 miles at 8:17 pace

Pat stopped by and talked me into a run.  It didn't take much effort on his part.  Feeling great after yesterdays run and felt good today to. Off day tommorrow?

8 miles at 8:20's

Nice and easy run today.  I had thought about taking the day off completely but changed my mind when I saw the weather.  Is it spring time already?  My running seems to be going really well right now.  I would have expected more of a hangover after the past months raqcing and mileage.  I guess I'm in better shape than I thought.  3:10 in Boston in April?  Starting to think maybe.

8 miles with Dave today.  As usual we started out slowly and picked it up.  The final 5 miles were under 7:15's.  Good news is it didn't feel that fast at all.  I have to run with Dave more often- except on easy days.  I don't think he knows what easy miles are.

7.5 miles in just under 56 minutes. 7:56 pace

Windy and cool today.  I love these conditions. :)  It seems the worse the weather of late the more excited I am to get out there and run.  Go figure.

With a long run tommorrow I wanted to stretch out my legs but save something for tommorrow.  Ran today pushing the pace slightly so that I was never completely comfortable but was still nice and relaxed.  16 tommorrow.
