4/6/10: Spring Running

I feel like I have a lot to write about but very little time to do so!

I've been very focused on ramping up to Boston over the last few weeks. I was sick for about a week, but have still been managing to jam in a lot of quality workouts, including:

3 miles in 18 minutes
16 miles with 12 @ 7:15s
19 miles in low to mid 7s
800s in 2:49s
3x1 miles in 5:45s
21 miles with 16 @ 7:00s

I've started to feel pretty good and am exciting for Boston. I don't think I'm in better shape than I was before Philly, but I feel like I have a good shot at sub 3.

It has also been some amazingly glorious running weather here in DC. The first set of pictures below was taken on various days while running around town. The second set is from a trip to wine country with Jen and Eve that also included some hiking in the Shenandoahs. It was awesome!

I'm looking forward to running the Muir Woods marathon this weekend and will definitely post some pictures soon.

Happy spring running!
