Ran 3.75 today. Goal is 4 Thursday and 6 Saturday. That will put me on track with the program (skipping a week) to be in line for the marathon May 1.

I gotta slow down for the 6er Saturday though. I’m running right at 8 min now.

That’s a great pace. I stay right at 9 min now on my outdoor runs. I’m used to treadmill running and I need to lean out considerably, so I’m hoping my medium distance runs get closer to the 8 min pace

8 min is sub 4 hours and I’ve got no interest in that ha

Sub 4 is not realistic for me. At all.

I’m shooting for 4-4:30 but who knows this far out. Cranking up the podcast for the 6 miles Saturday.

Wtf hills are terrible for pacing. How am I gonna qualify for the Boston marathon?!

3:10?! You could jog the last two miles backwards!

 

[TBreazy]

4 miles at ~8.45

if I feel okay doing 6 Saturday I’ll probably go ahead and register

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I’m getting my 7 in this afternoon. Breaking in a new pair of trail shoes as well.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Got the 7 done in 66 minutes. Not where I want to be but it was pain free and I wasn’t gassed at the end, so I’ll take it.

 

[TBreazy]

6.5 in 60 minutes

May regret this if it gets hot but I’ll be glad when it’s not cold as balls on these things
