Running (Lake Waramaug) 4:15:34 [3] 31.0 mi (8:15 / mi)
Did Lake Waramaug 50k, even paced the entire race, felt relaxed and didn't 'race' it, just got in a good long hard tempo run.

Running tempo (Tempo run) 1:15:00 [3] 10.0 mi (7:30 / mi)
Did tempo run - warmed up for ~15 minutes, then did tempo of 6 min, 5 min, 3 min and 2 min over the next 45 minutes of running, then cool down for 15 minutes. Ran w/ Brian to Pike and back. Decided to mix the 'on' period up, and not just focus on uphills, but also get in some hard portions on technical and downhills to force the tempo. Had Brian push me during this workout so I would work hard on the downhills. Felt great to open up the stride and 'glide' over the technical stuff.

Running (Running w/ hill walking) 1:30:00 [1] 9.5 mi (9:28 / mi)
Ran w/ Abby and Laura. They were doing hill tempo repeats, so I did hill walking repeats. Warmed up around Whiting Res. for ~3 miles (25 minutes), then speed hiked to top (14 minutes) of Mt. Tom, jogged back down, and went 10 minutes up again (and jogged back down). Cooled down around Whiting Res. to cars. Tried to push the tempo on the walking and felt good. (Abby, who is a successful mountain racer, says she runs up the mountain in 11 minutes and hikes it in 14, so I felt good about how I did.) Did lots of stretching - legs feel good, but still have just a hair of soreness in places. Pounding running down Mt. Tom didn't help!
Weights 30:00 [0]
Weights while watching the Biggest Loser (on tape). :)

Running (Easy Run) 48:00 [1] 6.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
Easy run at Reservoir with Abby. Felt surprisingly good, after the first 10 minutes. Did plenty of stretching and self-massage. Have a few minor sore spots but in general feel great!

Running race (Boston Marathon) 3:22:00 [3] 26.2 mi (7:43 / mi)
Felt great and steady during the race - held a 7:30 pace until the hills and then slowed just a hair for a few miles, picking it back up towards the end. Was relaxed and in control. Felt like I hydrated/fueled well (was relying on gus plus the water/gatorade along the course), paced well, and was able to run strong for the race. Walked several miles post-race to get the recovery going - also downed some protein immediately at the finish.
