Notes
Last long Boston Training run... Let the Taper begin. Scheduled 20 miles at MP+15 or about 8:12. Ended up moving right along... with 7:55 average. ha, I wonder if I could hold that for 5 more miles!. Did two eGels. JGT met me at 8 and 15 for cheers, H2O and tissues! Mile 15-16 hill was a breeze today... 8:03 average on the hill. Go figure! To recover, I walked barefoot in the snow, and rubbed the hammies with snow. Brrr.. If Meb can sit ina cold stream, I can walk barefoot on snow. Actually really invigorates the feet.
Been a tough 16 weeks to train. Work has been tough with too many meetings and trips. I was able to get in most if the three key runs each week, and sometimes an extra with the group. All the intervals were on the TM... thanks Y. Did a bunch of cross-training with swimming, spinning and XC skiing. It helps. Respected recovery days! Important to do. I'm not I would know what to do if I could really plan my running!
So the count down to Boston begins... 21 days to the starting gun!
