14 easier miles this weekend compared to last weekends 20 miler. This weeks run consisted of 5 goal pace miles in the middle of the run between between 6:40 & 6:46 which if I average the high end it would put me in the 2:57:30 range which would be awsome at Boston. Total average pace for the run was 7:14/mi. Miles went like this:
8:44, 7:54, 7:30, 7:22, 7:01, 7:07, 6:42, 6:46, 6:40, 6:41, 6:45, 7:19, 7:21, 7:25
Overall the pace felt pretty comfortable and we made some final descisions on how we were going to tackle Boston. Drake is going to come back and start with me and the pace is going to be 6:40-6:46 for the first 16 miles then we will see how we're feeling and everyone can do their own thing. Brian didn't even make it to the run his shins are bothering him and he's been battling hamy and back issues so he's going to try a stick with us but we'll see how that goes. Brian has also ran 2:53 before so my pace will be easier for him. There is also another fast guy that wants to join us at the begining and try sticking with us so that means I currently have a 4 man pace group to keep us honest and on pace for over half of the race. They have all ran Boston before and preach about conserving at the start so we'll see if they can practise what they preach or I'll have to beat them down!
