Ran 2.1 miles to the marathon sports store in Brookline for an 830 start. Kind of late to start but I guess we don't have heat to worry about yet. I still would have preferred to begin earlier especially since it was light and good vosibility by 5 am. I woke up at 430 and I could tell the sun was coming up. Anyway people began rolling in at 830 840 and I found out their was one person going 16 and he said his pace was 9 - 845. So I decided to tn with the guys going 10 since they looked like they would run a decent pace. We began at a fair pace seemed like 715ish but after about 2 miles we reached the the first hill and things got Interesting. The pace clearly picked up and didn't slow down after we topped the first hill. It was obvious they were only running 10 but I figured I would just go with the flow. By this point our group of 6 was a group of 4 and one guy was asking how long we planned to hold the pace. I wasn't sure and the guy responsible for the pace just kind of laughed. So we made it what I guess was half way and made 2 rights and began heading back. I wasn't sure of the route so I was kind of forced into the pace. On the way back we ran up the heartbreak hills which is where myself and the guy who asked about the pace let the other two go. We ended up finishing the 10.3 mles in 1hr14 min, no stops no water. At the end of the run I found out the pacer used to run with the german national team so I didn't feel so bad. He did look tired when we found them at the end of the run. They finished 1.5 min ahead of us. Made my 2.1 mile run home and called it a day.

Total distance- 14.5 miles. Time 1hr46min.

No run again today. well, I took the pupa for a 2 miler this morning
but that doesn't count. We arrived at our apt this morning and
unpacked all day.
I'm planning to meet a running group from the marathon sports running
store for 20 in the morning.

Finally arrived inMA. We are staying an hour outside of Boston in Auburn and driving in in the morilnng to unpack. Auburn, I was uncertan about this town. As a person who eu a and travels I base the greatness of a town on it's runner friendlyness, which is why I was not enjoying running in burleson. I was actually dreading the run. Every day. The last two days really sucked due to their lack of running. Today however was a gift. I think Auburn was designed by the running gods. The side walks are made of asphalt, need I saw more. When we pulled into the town I thought I noticed that the section of side walk n front of our hotel was asphalt but I thought that was just a section. But to my amazement the asphalt ran for miles. The town had good hills and the temp was 58 deg. I may get up early just to get in another run in this place before we leave. Total run 53 minutes, could have gone much more . Dist unsure. Still mucousy hopefully this goes away soon.

Ahh a new week is among us. This morning I woke up with the feeeling that I had a golf ball in the back of my throat. Thankfully it wasn't a golf ball, but unfortunately it was a huge ball of mucous. Then I noticed the sore throat, and here we have our first hurdle of the marathon training and the main reason I don't like children. I don't mind small babies, they are cute and can't walk or talk, but kids over 1.5 and under 14 I can do without. So, I've been staying at my mother in law's house for the past week and a half and 4 days ago she baby sat someone's 3 yr old kid who brought over his bacteria infested body to the house and shared it with everyone else. :/( Hopefully this little illness doesn't progress into much.
So I didn't run this morning and let the day go on to see how I felt. Things got a bit better after some drugs. Then I decided to go for an evening run. I ran 5.2 miles then 2.2 miles at a tempo pace.
distance 7.4, pace not sure I think the 405 has some problems hopefully not serious. I am going to contact GARMIN to see if they have some advice.

Tomorrow we leave Texas for our 3 day trip to Boston. First stop Dickson,TN.
