Notes
Boston training run with group. 7 of us drove down in the blue dino to Copley. Took the green line - D train out to second to last stop and then ran out toward Wellsley College for 5 miles. Turned around and headed all the way back into town. Took a P-Stop at mile 5. Brought 3 eGels.... they worked great today. Took at 5.63, 11.00 and 18.00. Also had 4 water bottles. Broke off from group at 5 mile mark and pretty much ran solo for most of it. I turned around and ran back about .5 miles to regroup at mile 14 (20 on course). We got off course by mistake at corner of Commonwealth and Beacon and ended up running an extra mile. Heartbreak Hill wasn't bad especially with a GREAT tail wind. Wx was really quite perfect for marathon. I hope we get the same on 4/18. I liked the last 6 miles as it was pretty much a gradual downhill right to the finish. Who knows what the first 11 will be like from the start at Hopkinton? Anyway, felt good about run, and hammie while it was definately talking, didn't scream or cause pain. Uphills felt better than flats and downhills.. Wore l/s green and s/s yellow tech shirts and pocket shorts. Also had on ornage wind jacket, light gloves and cap. Thanks Lance fcor organizing this and the Michelle for driving.
