Great conditions for a race. I held 6:40 pace through the 5-Mile split. Then the wind was in our teeth going out to Haines Point. It was clear I wasn't going to PR. So I scaled back the effort and bled 2 minutes over the next 5 miles. Ah well. Despite the fact that the cherry blossoms are still not in bloom, it was a very good outing. Chris joined me at the start and did quite well.

Nice work, Kevin. I was sorry to miss it, but it was the right call for me. I guess this means Chris's knee has healed.

Mon - Day off. Return from Boston with a nasty cold.
Tues - 5 miles with 30 sec pickups. Felt ok, only coughed after I finished. Still feeling lousy.
Wed - Easy 5 miles. Feeling a bit better; massage.
Thu - 5 miles with 2 x 8 min hard. Felt ok as the weather was pretty nice (high 40s)
Fri - Day off
Sat - 12 mile Fast Finish run. 1st 6 at 9:38 pace, next 4 at 8:55 pace, last 2 at 8:20 and 8:12 Felt ok despite still fighting my cold. Weather was good in the high 30s to start.
Sun - 4 miles at 8:49 pace. Had no idea that it was that quick. Temps in the high 50s!!! Wore shorts for the first time (outside) in Ohio this year!!!! Still have shades of my cold, but much, much better.

WTD: 30 miles
YTD: 529 miles (only 102 miles behind last year which I feel is an accomplishment!)

Miles for the week = 10! Today I tried my first run of any length since a way-too-early post surgery 9 miles about a month ago. Much better result than that setback disaster was. Met up with Kevin at DC's Cherry Blossom 10 miler. He's in great shape so of course I let him go do his thing solo as soon as we crossed the starting line. I kept it very slow and easy for the 10 miles and the knee feels OK and so the running comeback begins. Unfortunately, no Boston next week. I did plan (probably stupid) to go up there and try and jog/walk it but I need to go to Italy for work and leave the day before Boston. In truth, its probably a good thing. My Boston streak ends which I'm bummed about but I can now focus on getting the post-surgery knee healthy again for an easy 2014 Boston qualifier in early Fall and then a real raced marathon in October. Sucks that I had flights, hotel and race fees all sunk but in terms of getting me back to 100% again, this is probably for the best. Plus, if you have to travel for work, Milan and Cagliari (Sardinia) is not bad!

Good call, Chris! Been there, done that. In 2008, I went up for the trials and left so that I wouldn't be tempted to run as I was not yet healthy from an injury. Have fun in Italy!!

I'm pooped.

Nice job all around by everyone this week!

I realized that the Hansen plan has only one week of taper. Since I am pretty jet-lagged and not sleeping well, I cut down some of the mileage this week to give myself two weeks of taper

Mon - 8.5 miles with 3x2 miles tempo intervals
Tue - rest
Wed - 9.5 miles with 9 miles at MP
Thu - spin class - recovery HR
Fri - 5 miles easy
Sat - 8 miles long
Sun - rest

Week - 31 miles
YTD - 415 miles

Wow!

Thanks, but pretty tired today.

Makes sense since I ran 16.4 miles farther than ever before, with 7 of my last 10 miles under 8:00/mile - moving pretty good until I ran out of water with ~7 miles to go. Some idiots came by and stole everything from the last (unattended) aid station. I did lose a lot of time at the aid stations; the friend I ran with (until 32 miles) had an equipment malfunction (a broken valve on his hydration system) somewhere in the 25 mile range.
Though, I did run 3 and swim for a bit today.
