17 miles on the track.  Nice warm day, 54° and sunshine.  As I started this run my goal was to go 15 miles.  Once I got a few miles into it I decided I better get some marathon pace miles in, Boston is only 35 days away.  I'm still not sure what time I should shoot for, but it's looking like about 3:15.  3:20 is my C goal and 3:10 would be wow I can't believe I ran this fast but did goal.  I think I also need to run around Boston a little on Saturday and Sunday to see what this sea level thing is all about.  If I have the strength and fitness to run around 3:15 I might pick a few extra minutes since I live and train at 4500 feet.  I guess I'll see.  So anyway, back to my run today, as I slogged away for the first few miles I thought how can I possibly run a 3:10, that's a 7:15 pace.  With my C goal being 3:20 I figured I'd run some 7:38's.  I wanted to do the last 5 miles at this pace so here is what happend.

9:24  8:51  8:55  9:03  8:53  8:51  8:02  7:58  7:49  7:36  7:27  7:28  7:15  7:16  7:12  7:12  7:14  total time 2:16:22   8:01 ave pace.  Once I hit the 7:15's I decided to see If I could bang out 5 of them.  It took a lot of strength and it felt good to tack on a few extra miles.  I considered see how many more I could tack on but it was getting very hard and I felt like I would have been entering that zone of foolish training so I made #17 my last.  I liked what I did here and feel good about 3:15.

This week is going to be another 100 miler or very close to it.
