Found a cool trail but the hotel. 5 of us ran together,  but two if us left the rest after the 1st mile. 6 miles, 1 warmup the rest progressive while chatting and felt nice. 7:58, 7:48, 7:32, 7:22, 7:08, but it felt effortless for the first time in ages. Meetings after...

Back home- that and great running weather make me happy. Nice, crisp 48 degrees to run in. I was really debating what to run today. I ended up deciding on a 'quick' or quicker than last Saturday 13 miles + warmup/cool down. Run was good, have to cross the pre-run pizza off the list though. I also did this without any Advil (I was taking on my long runs). Splits 7:55, 7:56, 7:19, 7:44, 7:19, 7:59, 7:29, 7:56, 7:22, 7:52, 7:55, 7:54, 7:53 

Overall I was good with these. These match my Indy training of 18 months ago, so I am getting some fitness back without any big workouts. Let's see how the body fairs during and after Boston. AP 7:44
