Boston 08

Extremely windy and cold outside. I had to run 14 on the treadmill. Boston is 3 months from tomorrow! I am starting to get nervous.

Ten miles today in 70:42. I guess I am happy with that. Hey, is there anybody out there who is from South Jersey who is going to Boston in April? I live in Washington Twp...just across the bridge from Philadelphia.

Ten miles today. It was a nice day. I don't mind cooler temperatures when there is little wind. I had a couple of buddies who run go with me today. That makes a big difference for me. It seems so much easier. I am now going to take a couple of days off. I am playing golf tomorrow and then I will not run on Friday and then I will run 20 miles on Saturday. Sunday is supposed to be the nicer day, but if I run on Sunday, I do not think I will be able to run Monday. I'll see. Maybe I will wait to Sunday and just run less miles next week.

I ran 20 miles today at my work course. It is a 4 mile loop with some small rolling hills on it. I know they are bumps compsred to what I imagine Boston to be, but it isn't flat. I ran it in 2:36:05. I felt pretty good at the end. I have run 20 miles before where I felt like I couldn't have run another step. I went out easy and tried to keep an easy pace around 8:00. I went by the 10 mile mark in 1:18:32. I went by 13 in 1:42:05. I was sore yesterday, but I feel a lot better today. I will go run 10 today some time. We'll see how it goes. I have a meeting after work. I'll have to squeeze it in somewhere.
