Spring runoff today, did it last year and really enjoyed it. Got up pretty early so I could get to Pueblo before the race in plenty of time to do my normal pre-race routine. Everything the last few days and this morning was pretty normal so that was good. roughly 2 mile warmup, was already in the mid-50s and warming up quickly, nice weather for March. My watch didn't get my splits, but I know my first couple were 6:18, 6:07, 6:12, 5:53, then I was at right around 31:00 for the 5 mile, into the wind and uphillish for miles 5, 6, and 7 so it slowed me down quite a bit, I was 6:23 into the wind and 6:12 with the wind for 8, 9 and not sure on 10 because there is a big hill coming up the bluff and straight into 20mph winds, so the last .3 actually probably added 20 seconds off where I was. Overall, it was a good effort, only 45 seconds slower than last year with an injury this year I'm training through and a lesser training cycle at this point, so all things considered, a good day. My goal going in was 1:02:30, or 6:15, and I ended up just 9 seconds slower. Boston will be tough with this injury but as long as I get warmed up and loose, it tends to not be as sore during the race effort itself, so just gotta train to finish. 3 mile cooldown for 15.2 overall, upper 60s by the end, which was a little warm but nice

was having a decent run, albeit slow until about mile 5.5, stepped on a huge rock and just about broke my ankle, thankfully its my bad ankle so it bounced back from the initial pain like it usually does - this one was just more severe than most ankle rolls I get with it, probably will take tomorrow off now - not ideal, 7:39 avg pace, jogged easy back home after the roll though

really good long run tonight, 7:12 avg pace for 18 miles! 1:05:15ish for the first 9, 1:04:19ish for 2nd half, about a minute negative split, fast mile was mile 13 at 7:01, legs were kind of tired given the high mileage lately and the injury stuff, but overall, I felt strong + strides

was planning on a half this weekend, but it was just too pricy, so I decided to join the Rocky Mountain Road Runners for their Marathon Training Series races/training runs. They had a 10 and 20 M option, I took the 10 and was hoping for better than 1:01. A little cool at the start, but no wind helped and it warmed up quickly. This race was a good test for Boston (from everything pre-race prep standpoint). My watch didn't save my splits (of course), but I know we started at 6:12, then dropped into the 6:00-6:03 range with a 5:57 mixed in during the first 5 miles. Came through 5 miles in around 30:10 roughly, lost some steam around mile 6, but rebounded and made a strong mental finish more than anything (although after a slow mile 6 and 7, I also hit faster miles again, with the last one probably near 6:05 or better. Finished just under 1:01, not exactly sure how much, my watch had 10.01 in 1:00:57 but it beeped a little ahead of the line. Whatever the time, very happy with this effort as I achieved my goal, improved my 10 mile time from 3 weeks ago by a minute and a half and generally felt really strong, especially after the rough spell passed mid-race. Considering the elevation, I'm excited about what this effort says about my fitness level right now. 3.7 cooldown and roughly 1.8 prerace for a 15.5 total day

long training run tonight, 19.3 in 7:14 avg pace, snowed the entire time but wasn't really accumlating, made the decision to wear shorts even tho it was cold, decided if this was boston thats what I would wear, negative split the run, my fastest miles were 10-17, slowed it down before and after, + strides after, longest single training run i've ever done
