How fast will I run the Boston Marathon?

Wednesday lunch run (6.12mi)

After having been raining all morning, I wasn't terribly excited to get out and go for a run yesterday, but I knew that I was most likely going to be taking Friday off this week, so I figured it would be best to just get out there and get it done. And sometimes that's just what you have to do. So while the run started off a bit on the wet side, a couple miles into the run the rain finally subsided to nothing much more than a light drizzle, and remained mostly clear the rest of the way. The temperature wasn't that bad either, in the upper 30's - lower 40's, which actually felt ok. We started out at a pretty easy pace, and then after a few miles Jim and I decided to pick up things up a little bit. Nothing too serious, but just a little more than the easy pace we were at, closer to my normal training runs. I felt pretty strong when we finished, and as usual at the end of a run, very glad I decided to get out there and get it done.

Thats really the best mentality, its nice to hear someone else has the same feelings as i do when it comes to forcing yourself to just go out there and get it done, keep it up and push thru, success is near...

So I came home this evening after class and motivated myself to go to the Health and Raquet with S and I ended up spending 31 minutes on the track, 3.55 Miles at a pace of 12:09.

I peaked my heart rate at 188 and my fastest pace was 9:14, though I'm doubt that pace was held for very long :), thanks for being so diligent with this, its great!
