Notes
Last long one before Boston... not that 10 seems so long! GORGEOUS day with a slight head wind on the way back. Planned a 10 miler at MP... but then again what the heck is MP? My revised MP is 7;45 with hopes of bettering that.7:45 is about 3:23 which would be 20+ about BQ... seems doable. Needed some H2O today so I think I felt the heat at the end as my legs were leaden down!
Great to run with the group today, though I guess I wasn't very socialble... sorry all... Had the average pace in my head and needed to nail it one more time. With 21 mile bike ride yesterday legs did seem heavy on the last 3 miles. So the real question is can I hold a steady pace for 26 miles... the progression today is fine for a 10 miler, but come on find the pace and stick with it.
Pretty much have my plan for Boston to start out reasonable at 7:45 and see if I can bank a few minutes on the downhills at 7:35'ish. Then hit Newton at 7:45 and cruise the last 6. ha! Would love to nail a 7:37 pace overall for Boston, but that will require discipline and focus!
Anyway legs felt good this today, new shoes were great...Lance was a good rabbit for the last 3 miles. Pulled me along. Great to see Robin out today. Her form was smooth and fluid!
Take care all...
This week has 6x400 early in the week and a 3 miler at MP. Will likely do a short one on Sunday with some striders.
