Getting BOSTON back...

Alright..I admit it...I lost that loving feeling for the marathon...13 last year and the 6 halves plus the training sorta SUCKED the running LOVE out of me...

Of course there is the other crap in my life that zapped

far too much energy from my being as well...

NO more whining...it's time to get my RUN ON.......

Yesterday...March 15, 2010....WAS my turning point...I have 5 weeks to get to Boston...And am I ready to run a sub 3:30???...not today...BUT in 5 weeks I'm finding a 3:30 or better.

Not a PR but a PR on the Boston course...

(The start....)

I pulled off 16 miles on Sunday...at an 8:35 pace and that was a fight...

(sorta was THE wake up call!)

I haven't run long since Vegas RnR in December and believe me...I had NO issues with just doing 13 max for awhile...

Post run Sunday I felt like I banged out a marathon...calf pain and such...

Nutrition needs an evaluation as does liquid intake on the longs..

struggling with it for awhile...suggestions are welcome.... :)

(my cousin in Boston..wont be back til 2011!)

Sooooooo......The next 5 weeks is about getting the run back...digging deep and finding my speed again....What that looks like for miles...some 2o milers with some mid week 10's and recovery runs...and then the taper...OH yeh...and Ironman training too....

Catch ya in Boston...Lets DO THIS!
