I promise that from now on I'll try to do some editing of my verbal diarrhea - I know that I had a point when I started writing my last post - but, looking at it now - I'm not sure what it was. Maybe this is why I should stick to training related posts : )
So, this last week was a slight decrease in intensity and mileage. I actually felt pretty good on my long run today. It marked the last of my four hardest weeks of training for Boston. I averaged almost 96 miles per week over the last four weeks.
This week is the last week of my fourth "phase." Other than the fact that Boston is only 5 weeks from tomorrow - it means that Saturday is my "tune-up" race - the National half-marathon in DC. I'm looking to average 5:30's - which works out to ~1:12:00. The course does have some hills - so, if I'm a little off the pace I won't be too upset.
