Long May You Run

9.9 miles 1:25:19  8:37 ave  5 miles on the track, decided to pick up the pace a little bit.  Still formulating a taper.

5.65 am miles 49:05   8:41 ave pace, it's been a long time since this run was under 50 minutes, felt pretty good this morning.

10.9 pm miles 1:37:22  8:56 ave pace   I was feeling strong and fast for the first half of this run  but then my legs got heavy.  One thing that I have noticed in this last training cycle is that even though my legs will feel sluggish, I still feel very strong.  If things go according to plan, I should have a very good run at Boston.  It's getting very close. 

5.65 am miles  53:35  9:29 ave   feeling a little sluggish, surprised I was this slow, it felt like I was a little faster.

5.9 pm miles 9:09 ave 53:54  did not feel good at all, just wanted to get home and rest.  Originally planned this to be about an 8 mile run, but no way.   

5.65 am miles  9:12 ave pace 51:57   so nice to be back in crocs.  It's a superior running shoe for me.  Running in the Kinvaras has been good over the last week, I was a little surprised how nice it felt to be back in crocs.

5.9  pm miles 53:54  9:08 ave  what a beautiful afternoon, 65°.  When I'm running a feel like there is now way in the world I could even run one mile at my marathon goal pace, forget about stringing 26 together.  I felt exactly the same way last year and really ran the Salt Lake marathon well.  So I guess this is a good sign? 

8.25 easy slow miles with Bill, south end of the valley.
