Dusk, mid 60s - Finally got my act together for a long run. Not sure what kind of effort I could give since I've missed my long runs the previous 2 weeks. The 5+ hrs in the woods yesterday probably didn't help either. Ran with a light pack (water, food, and other essentials) since I'm out ~3hrs alone. A bit awkward with the pack bouncing a little at first, but got used to it after a while. Tried to find some hilly route to assimilate the Boston hills (both up and down). Started to tire out around the 1:45 mark. Tired legs didn't enjoy going up the hill around the 12-14mi portion of the run. Then came the looong downhill on Delta (~1.75mi). Quads held up better than expected through this section. Once on Eastern, it's a 5mi+ on the flats back to downtown. Body and mind definitely got real tired in the last few miles, but I was happy to have made it through unscathed.

Edit: it didn't feel I was going that fast. Thought I was closer to 7:50/mi. but all the downhill running must've sped things up a bit.

C • Doing the Boston Marathon? 2

A nice long stretch after getting home. L shin is slightly sore, hamstrings and calves are also tight. We'll see how they feel tomorrow.

Ankles. Need to get back into the daily routines more diligently.
