Training Log Archive: ebuckley

Barefoot on the powerline. Legs felt nice and springy. I bring that up because in the afternoon...

... they didn't. Now, the record high for Boston on April 16 is 84F and I obviously won't be running the marathon at the tail end of a 20-hour training week so today's session was overkill. Still, the humidity was low enough that I was a bit surprised at how poorly I responded to the heat. Ran around CC Lake and then up the ridge. Temps in the 90's had the lakefront looking more like June 1 rather than April 1 - lots of barbeques and bikini tops. Once on the singletrack (about an hour in), I felt much better and really didn't struggle with the decision to tack on a couple miles coming home to get the total for the day over 3 hours. Last long run of this cycle.
