Notes
Crewed Dead Runner's Society run
Beautiful day for a long run. Lots of other marathoner's doing their long runs. Ran in a well organized pack with BAA guys (Josh, Mike, Pat, Chris, and John). Felt comfortable for the 1st 6 miles. Had to concentrate a little harder from mile 6-10 to keep up, then hit a nice 2nd wind from Natick to the Wellesley downhill. Still holding pace pretty well over the 1st hill after the firehouse, but really cracking on Heartbreak. Only later did I realize it was because the guys were dropping the hammer (some 6:15s i think) over the hills, while I was probably just holding pace. It was nice with all the well-stocked aid cars! Can't believe I was only seconds off Philly marathon pace. Probably should add about 10 minutes for water stops, but still a ridiculously fast run. Didn't feel completely thrashed after the run, but tomorrow will be a light day. Is this a sign of things to come?
