Another 20 and Looking Ahead

The group pulled another 20 miler this past weekend. I felt good for the first 15, then a blister hit, along with an upset stomach, so the last 5 miles were a chore and pretty lousy.

I've had a couple of good runs since then, but I feel like I need to get my endurance up. My times on the short to medium length runs have been dropping, which is great, but that's not going to necessarily help on race day. We have one more 20+ coming up before we taper, so I'm looking forward to that. I wish I could make the group run that weekend from Hopkinton to BC, but I'll need to do my own along the course on Sunday from Framingham to downtown, which will still get me on the course. I need to make the most of that run.

I went out today at lunch. It was nice to wear shorts and ditch the winter cap and gloves for the first time in months. I hope the decent weather is here to stay and I'm starting to get really excited for 4/19.
