Ok I'm now way, way behind on my blog here. As we're getting closer to marathon Monday, there has been more to do to prep and more time training. I'll try to be better, promise! This weekend we ran our longest run of the training season. 20 miles, down heartbreak hill to mile 10 of the marathon route and then back up the route to the top of the hill at Boston College. Coach Jack's theory is that this route somewhat replicates the marathon route, where you end up running heartbreak hill towards the end of the route. I have to say I felt great, despite the snow and cold, and I was able to run faster than I thought up the hills. Running with the team makes ALL the difference in the world. The miles go by so quickly and all of a sudden you're done. We got this. As Coach Jack says, "The Hay is In The Barn."
Today I ran 5.5 miles around the Charles River path. The river is thawing out and it's really pretty. There's grass is showing in spots and the path is finally fully clear and free of snow and ice. FINALLY. Happy (late) Spring!
