How fast will I run the Boston Marathon?

Crossroads! (8.84mi + 1.25mi)

I was feeling pretty fresh Thursday night for the Crossroads run, as continuing with my recent strategy of trying to be better about resting, I had taken Wednesday completely off as a rest/recovery day. So right from the get-go, I could tell it was going to be a faster paced run. Fred and Seth joined in the fun as well, and we moved along very nicely. The weather was actually awesome as well, with the temperature in the low 50's when we started! And now that it's staying light out later, it's kind of interesting to see how the course takes on quite a different look at dusk as opposed to the pitch black it has been for so long... It's pretty amazing to think back how dark it was for most of these Thursday night runs, and how that actually affects your state of mind, and the way you physically feel during the run. Before I know it, summer will be here and evening runs around the Charles will be back in action in full force... I can't wait!

Dennis! I took 7 days off from running and I feel like a new man. I was tired, stressed, and on the verge of going crazy with my schedule. It did me good. I started on a vitamin program since my eating habits are so bad and have tried to get as much rest as possible. Xbox makes that really hard but you inspire dude!
