Notes
No warm-up/No warm-down/No plan. I knew I wasn't going to race all out today, but wanted a good, confidence building workout. Thought I'd go out easy and then do a fartlek run, but as soon as the gun went off, I took off. To my suprise the pace felt good for the 1st several miles. My goal for Boston is 6:50 a mile pace, so I tried to stay at that pace through the 1st 6. I hit it almost exactly (on a difficult course/day), but then fought negative thoughts of stopping at 10K. I decided to do the 20K, but would slow the pace to 7:00 a mile. I never felt bad on this run, but my L Hamstring shot pains through my leg several times. Caught up to Andy at 10 miles, but had no intention of racing him. Overall, I'm pleased, but I have a long way to go, before I'll be ready for Boston.
