One month to go...
43 miles this week. Not too bad, considering the first half of the week also included walking all over hell and back in Washington, DC. Speedwork on Tuesday had to be done inside on the treadmill at the hotel, but I still got a good workout. Since I had to travel on Wednesday, that meant four days in a row with no break after I got back. Even with that, I was able to do my first long training run ever at a sub-8:00 min./mile pace.
Sunday's long run - 18 miles total - was intended to mimic Boston. It started out for 7 miles slightly downhill along the Big Dry Creek Trail. Miles 7-13 was a climb of about 300 feet, and then the last 5 miles were mostly downhill. Had it not been for some lower back cramps, I would say it was a perfect run.
The next week is my last hard week of training that wraps up with a 20 mile run. And then....let the taper madness begin!
