Regretfully I will be running the Boston Marathon in April. I have been on and off about running it, but I have spent the dough now, so I am committed.
I think I will have a different frame of mind after a few weeks of good training, just not looking forward to the long runs.
Last race was Topsfield GBTC XC festival,
8k, wicked brutal course, rocks, hills, wind etc. 30:08.
Next and last XC race for the year is Mayors cup. Always a fast field!. I will certainly be at the back, but hoping I can run under 29 minutes. Those not able to run under 30 are highly discouraged from running, to avoind getting lapped.

Wed - off
TR - 90 minutes, then I did 20 walking lunges (10 each leg) then 10 slow easy squats, all with no weights. Now I think I have a groin injury because I had a hard time walking after the squats.

5k weekend
Friday - Home loop a, 72 min.
I ran in the mission hill 5k on Sat morning. I wasn't sure what to think when I saw some of the guys from the Northeastern University track team getting ready to race. SO I went ahead and ran the course for a warm up, then we were off. I was glad to see that they didn't completely blast off during the first mile. I kept them in range for the most part. Only one of them was at the front with some other guy, and the rest of them fell off after about 800m. Caught the lead 2 at the mile mark, then ran with them for a while. It turned out that they were pretty weak on the hills. So I thought I would test em out on a couple of the uphills, and they both fell off. Finished the last mole about 15 sec ahead of the kid from NEU. He looked young, and it turned out he was a freshman. He will probably smoke me next year.
5k PR - 16:54.
