| Day of Rest (well sort of..the sun was out for the first time in about a week, so I played with the kids in the yard, did a little tilling of the garden, and some Spring cleaning in preparation for another visit from the in-laws this week.) It's amazing how much get done when one doesn't have to run! :-) | |

Another beautiful day. A little warm when I ran after work (76 degrees, light breeze). An easy solo 6-miler (all my running buddies are on vacation for Springbreak). 8:00, 8:16, 8:12, 8:14, 7:56, 7:20 AP:7:58 HR: 143
Ran in my "Boston" Speedstars from last year (the ones I bought at the Expo and ran in the next day...a rookie mistake)
Got a call from my buddy, Tom Slick today. I doubt if there is anyone more excited about running Boston than Slick! 35 days and counting....

!!!Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! It was another hot day...I'm glad I didn't wait until after work to run. I ran my 9 miles at lunch time when it was only 80 degrees...it got to about 86 by dinner time. Low humidity thought and a 15MPH breeze, so it made it bearable.I made the mistake of wearing my Asic Nimbus 10's today. The toebox is too small, and I figured because they made my toenail already fall off, what more harm could they do??? Ouch! I hate to toss away expensive shoes...but I might be able to wear them when I'm not running. Splits: 8:34, 8:22, 7:54, 8:10,8:05, 7:59, 7:56, 7:08, 6:58 (you can guess the wind was with me for the run back home) AP: 7:54 HR: 142 I watched my Boston video from last year today for the first time this year. Trying to fired up for the blessed event! I sure hope we have nice weather this year.

It's my anniversary! 21 Years Ago Today I Married Wife, Beth.
This week is Spring Break for my kids. I'm taking today and tomorrow off of work. Last night the boys and I set up the tent in the back yard and camped out. They really love that. The weather right now is perfect for camping. In the 70's during the day and down in the 50's at night.
I headed to the rail trail this morning for a mid-long run. I went out nice and easy for the first 7 miles, and decided to turn the last 7 miles into a tempo run. It felt great!
Going out for a nice dinner tonight. Tomorrow might be a rest day. :-)

I wouldn't call Friday a day of rest, exactly, but I didn't run. Stayed home from work and got lawn mowed, and set up 2 more tents, and got the place cleaned up for company. We were planning to have a few of the boys' friends over for a campout in the backyard. Their friends had a last-minute cancellation...but the campout went on without the friends. The boys loved the campfire and s'mores. I had fun too! :-)

| Woke up from camping in the back yard at the crack of dawn. Made waffles and bacon for the family, then headed to the trail. I only had time for about 18 miles (before boys' soccer game), though I would have like to have done more. The temperature was around 65-70 for this run, and a light breeze. I didn't feel real strong today, but didn't feel bad either. AP: 8:13 AVg HR: 133 Max HR: 155 Miles 18 was the fastest at 6:58 -- feels really good to be able to do a sub 7:00 at the end of a long run. Got in 52 miles for the week (with 2 rest days). Not bad for me..that's 2 50+ milers in a row..woohoo. Not sure what this next week will allow for mileage.
