First speedwork session in the Asics Piranha! Loved it!! 4.6 oz of heaven!! Great feel to 'em.
Treadmill work, so it wasn't too taxing on the feet, but the shoes felt great either way.
10 x 200 on the 2 minute at 10.5mph (535 pace)
Great workout!

First outside run since Boston. It was a bit breezy on the way up. On the way back it felt like it was a thousand degrees. Its funny how running 714 pace for 4 miles felt like hell when I ran sub 7s for almost 20 miles 3 days ago. Racing is so weird.
Boston...done!
I am in the process of writing a race report, but more important things have appeared this week!
I ran a 3:09:05 at Boston this week. I had been shooting for 3:04:59 due to the new time constraints on registration this coming year for the 2012 Boston Marathon. For those runners who qualify at a time 20 minutes or more under their required time (for me, that's 3:15:59), registration begins on September 12. I know I won't be running a 2:55 any time soon. But...I know I can go 3:05 with focused training and nutrition. That's 10 minutes below my time. Runners who beat their qualifying time by 10 minutes or more can register in Tier 2 of registration (Day 3). The problem is...a flat, fast marathon is hard to come by before that time. I looked at Toronto Waterfront...but it's October 16th...too late. Chicago is October 9...again, too late. So I need a race between now and September that's flat, fast, a Boston Qualifier, and decently weather-friendly.Â
TORONTO MARATHON. May 15. This looks like my best bet. The problem is...it's a MONTH away!! I have to kick some ass for the next 3 weeks and get myself in tip-top shape in almost no time at all!! So...St. A's just became a C race. I am back to marathon training starting next Monday. Holy crash course training Batman!!! This is gonna be insane.Â
I need to take 3 minutes and 6 seconds off my marathon in 4 weeks.Â
Stay tuned folks, this is gonna be a rough ride!!

Boston, baby!!
Not quite the day I expected, I was on pace to go 3:04 all the way thru Mile 21. But the hills took alot of energy to conquer so I kinda lost it around 22. Im still happy though...Ive had the flu in the last month and I have had three injuries since October...two calf pulls and a right quad pull. So...overall I gave it all I had in the tank today. Can't ask for more than that.
Oh and I guess I should mention that my longest continuous training run was 15 miles. Imagine what I could do if I actually get thru a full training schedule! Next year.
Runnin' a little race...should be fun. GOOD LUCK to all other Boston runnin' BTers!!! GO GO GO!!

The weather's supposed to be decent tomorrow...and guess what...a TAILWIND!! Almost 20mph of it!! I'll be pushed along the course to a new Boston PR...well, I hope. I don't feel as though I've put in the training I should have this time around...being that I've been injured and I've had the flu over the past two weeks. But I am confident that I'll enjoy whatever the day hands me. I'm here...that's what matters.
So far, at the start, the weather's supposed to be sunny, but windy. 50 degrees, feels like 44. Winds from the WSW at 17mph. The course runs ENE...so that's a great tailwind to push me up Heartbreak Hill at 20.7 miles!! WOOHOO!!

- Stretching
- 30m
What an awesome stretching session today at the Provincetown Gym. Foam roller, Swiss Ball, and a bar to hang myself upside down with. I did a bunch of hip opening yoga poses, rolled my back on the foam roller about 100 times, and stretched myself out over the top of the swiss ball. I feel nice and flexible. I will do this again tomorrow!
