This was the first week of taper for Boston. I missed a couple of runs, but I ran two very hard days, so I'm very happy. The workout on Wednesday was much faster than I'd hoped for. It gives me good hope for a 2:50. I haven't done anything faster than 3:45/km in the last three months, so I knew that the race on Saturday would be very slow.
March 31 – April 6
Monday – 6k, felt sick
Tuesday – 11k, winds of 60-90 km/h
Wednesday – 20k hard in 1:18:38, 5k splits of 19:55 (up), 18:57 (down), 19:53 (up), 19:53 (down) cruising in, felt very easy
Thursday – off, busy
Friday – off
Saturday – hilly 8k in 30:16, 35th place, good race, splits of 15:00 and 15:16
Sunday – 25k slow in the sun
79 km |

I'm 2 weeks out from Boston now but I needed a relatively big week after losing almost 2 weeks to the flu. This week felt great. The easy days felt very easy. On the last few miles of the 20 I was around MP and my legs felt a bit heavy but that's to be expected since it had been 6 weeks since I'd run longer than 2 hours. I needed that. I felt like going into Boston with my last 2+ hour run being 8 weeks prior would have been a bad idea. I'm not back to where I was pre-flu but I'm getting closer. |

Hubby looked at your log yesterday, and saw that both you and JK ran your Kroger to Kroger deal, and said " Holy $hi*T.... Look how far they ran today! Wow.... I'll bet you are achy all over.....
Nice Run!

Not a good week for me. Legs felt dead most during most of my runs. Decided to take a few days off. This week I'm going to slow down on my easy runs and hopefully I can do around 30, since I was able to do over 25 the week before last. |
