This actually felt really comfortable. I eased into pace and just stayed relaxed. Was able to practice taking water every mile and I took a Gu at miles 6 and 11. I felt like I had a lot in the tank after the 15 miles of Marathon pace. A good confidence boost. Good week of running too. My 3rd consecutive 100+ week. 5 weeks till Boston!!!!

Nice and easy on the treadmill today to keep an easy recovery pace. Felt great. Big Marathon pace workout tomorrow. Excited for it!

I ran my Boston route backwards today from south. Awesome run today. I felt so good! I ran at a real good pace and it felt so effortless. Another beautiful sunny day too.

An easy 5 miler on the treadmill after work. Spring Break has begun. I'm going to lay low and train!

3/8

An easy 5 during lunch and then an easy 6 miler after school. I ran to Huffman and back in the afternoon. It was another beautiful sunny day, but a small cold breeze. We have so much snow! It's gonna take a long time to melt. Gross!

Easy recovery before work.

Ran my Boston prep route with a little out and back on elmore in the afternoon. It was beautiful out and sunny. I felt pretty good, but was defintely tired the last few miles. The footing was good, but a few short sections werent. It gets frustrating when your tired too. Good day.
