How fast will I run the Boston Marathon?

Monday lunch run (7.22mi)

After having 2 out of the last 3 days off, today my legs were finally starting to come around and feel a bit better. I had run them down pretty good over the past 2 weeks, and so I had definitely felt it during my run on Saturday, but having the "light" weekend was definitely nice. So I'm thinking maybe I might try to work in one more day off during the week then I've been taking over the past couple but I guess I'll probably play it by ear and just see how I feel. With the big day exactly 5 weeks out from today, I really only need to get through the next 2-2.5 weeks and then the tapering will start.

Today's run was an easier paced lunch time run with Jim. We set out thinking we'd do 5-6mi, but whenever we arrived at a junction and I asked Jim which way to turn, he always seemed to choose the longer route, so it ended up being a bit more. In my mind, the more the merrier at this point, so it was all good. The weather was in the upper 30's and the sun came out shining over the latter half of the run, so all in all, it was again another rather enjoyable run. I'm feeling good for tomorrow's track workout.
