For over 30 years, Stu’s 30K has been a tune-up run for the Boston Marathon.
This was a quick race decision on my part. Jim Maloy my co-worker/running buddy texted me yesterday and asked if I had any interest in running this classic hilly New England tune up for Boston. There definitely were some long climbs and good descents. I stuck with Jim for the first 14 miles and then decided to see what I had left for the last 4 and change. Apparently I had a bit more as I dropped the pace to below 7 minute miles and picked up 15 places. Within the final 2 miles, I set my sights on a girl wearing pink compression socks and a Greater Boston Track Club singlet over a long sleeve. She was a competitor and definitely didn't appreciate me running up on her shoulder. She pushed to hold me off, but I wasn't there to play nice and kicked by her and one other dude farther up ahead in the final stretch. I was definitely pleased with this long effort as I ran 10.5 miles yesterday and have come off of two 60 mile weeks. (I've never run two back to back 60 mile weeks) 7:23 avg.

I ran about 2 miles to meet up with Kris and then we started running together. With yesterday's 9 and change, I wasn't to amped up for the long run, but as the miles and conversation passed, we started moving along decently. This is definitely an honest route with nice climbs and rolling terrain. Kris even showed me where he ran into "Boston" Billy Rodgers on his run yesterday. It was on a hill no less! The guy still gets out there and gets after it at 68 years old! After Kris turned off torwards his house and I continued on torwards mine, I started to bonk a bit. I sucked down a GU and kept going. I made it back to my driveway and was done. 7:22 avg.
Or so I thought........
4.62 mile walk
With my best friend and wife! It felt good to flush out some lactic acid and keep moving. We saw two hawks having a little tussle up on the roof of a house and then it moved to a tree. Really cool.

Tempo fail. 6:48, 7:11, 6:28, 7:08, 6:33. I thought that I would jump right into a tempo with no easing in. Big mistake. The first mile which wasn't all that fast killed me. I backed off for the second and then hit the third mile which was mostly down hill faster. Then backed off again from feeling like I was working too hard. I sped up again for the last mile which started uphill and finished down/flat. Overall 6:50 avg, but not pleased with the inconsistent nature of the workout or my wimpiness.

Cold outside, but minimal wind. I did see a dead skunk in the snow near the end of the run. I figured Slow Joe would be happy about that. 7:09 avg.
My wife signed us up for a yoga class tonight. My first one. It's a restorative yoga class geared towards runners. This is going to be interesting..... especially if I fart.

I went out in the late afternoon with little to no calories in me. There were 20 mph winds and cold temperatures to boot. I bonked hard at eight miles. Excuses excuses. 7:33 avg.
I can't wait to go to bed tonight and it's only 4:56 pm.
