Quest For Boston

I woke up looking forwards to running this morning.  I wasn't sure how I'd feeel after 2 5k's in 3 days but I felt good.  The calfs weren't sore at all and my hip and ankle felt o.k.  I ran the Southern woodlands with Dave and then added on the East Chop loop for  an additional 3 miles to the run.  I think I'll try to avoid the woods for a while, at least until some of the leaves are packed down or blown away. Dave tweaked his ankle early on in the run and it made me a little nervous with the way my ankle has been feeling of late.

Did a little cross training afterwards with some yard work.

6 miles at a steady effort of pushing myslef slightly. Felt really good.

100 floors on the stairmaster tonight before power yoga.  Followed up with 1.5 miles on the treadmill to cool down. It's a beginning to cross-training.  Hopefully the stairclimber will build up the quads a bit and make the pounding easier to handle in the longer races.

6 miles in the dark.  I can't seem to get used to it.  A lot of extra pounding with the lack of light.   Off day tommorrow.

6 easy miles on a cool windy day.
