Making the Most of the Master Years

5 mi in 42:16

easy run.  Felt kinda "heavy" today at first.  Finally loosened up and was running free and fluid about 3.6 mi in.  Left lower achilles tendon sore throughout.  Thinking that the calf muscle may be tight, will stretch throughout the day.

6 mi in 48:24

3 mi alone on the Craig track with 3 x 1/2 mi repeats at 6:07, 6:21 and 6:10 mpm pace.  Then 3 mi with the Craig running club kids which included a few starts and stops.  Felt really great today.  No pains.  Very fluid.  Good run.

4 mi in 34:00

easy run today at Alexander Park.  Not feeling great.  Little bit drained, didn't sleep well and have a slight headache.  Even so, the run itself was good.  Stride and pace easy and fluid.  Was a little sore yesterday after the 800s on Wednesday. (probably shouldn't have done those.)  getting ready for Boston now.  Trying to take it easy.  I probably haven't eaten well this week for banking energy for the race.  I was too heavy over last weekend and have been a little agressive trying to get the weight down this week ahead of the carbo load on Sunday wanting to toe the line right at 150 lbs.
