Strength day today. I wanted to get some good miles in instead of 2 mile repeats simply because I felt like it.  That's the beauty of training by yourself and not with/for a team.  I can basically do what I want.  Ironically, that has made me faster than I ever was with a team.  No pressure...just relaxed running and putting in the work. Anyway the mostly down hill direction was running into the wind while the mostly uphill direction was with the wind so it was sort of strange but it evened out me splits. averaged 5:31.  Good strength pace. Makes me wonder how I will fare for a half marathon.  I wonder if I had time to run 8-10 repeats how I would do.

sore from the hill sprints yesterday.  Warm out today. 

Saucony Kinvara 3 Miles: 9.00

Looking pretty good lately. Are you running a half before Boston? I think you can take a HUGE chunk of time off that PR, for sure.

Thanks Jake! Yes I am running the DC Rock N Roll Half on March 16th. I'm planning to take a down week and lower my mileage a bit that week to make it a solid effort so I can see what my potential may be for Boston.

Yea I definitely know that old PR will be gone. I've only ran one HM and that was nearly two years ago!

That's great timing - enough time to really hit that one hard, but far enough out from Boston. You'll be ready. I find the sessions like 6 x Mile really beneficial for the 1/2
