Total Distance

25.00

I met up with Bret about 4:50 and we ran 9 and half miles before we looped back to pick up Jon.

The run went pretty well, I felt that my legs were feeling the TRI from Saturday I was doing pretty well for the first half then legs started feeling pretty tired and heavy. Bret wanted to go fast so he took off and I ran with Jon until the last 4 miles or so then he took off as well. For me the run was not about running crazy fast, it was about finshing it at a decent pace. I accomplished just that, I averaged 6:55 for the entire 25 miles and the last 4 miles or so were between 7:20 and 8:00 pace as it was uphill not the best way to end a long run.

Today was my last long run before the Boston Marathon and I am very glad about that. My legs are starting to feel the longer mileage at this time. The best part is the pain I was feeling around my ankle last week has disappeared and went away. It is a maracle I was getting very worried about it. I can't wait to start to taper and drop mileage my body will think it is in heaven.

You have to feel good about all the long runs you've put in! Very consistent with them... nice job.

Jake- I have been working hard on my long runs as I usually die the last 2-4 miles of a Marathon. With this training I hope my body is more in tune with the miles and I can finish strong.

Steve- You are right I hope it all pays off and I can be around a 2:20 or close to it.

Spencer- Ya it will be fun, I am getting super excited and you should as well your training has been looking really solid as well.
