The Weather Outside is Frightful

This isn’t going to be pretty.  The forecast for marathon day is really ugly.  86°/54°.   Not being a hot weather runner, I think this puts Boston out of reach for me.  Argh!  The high temp has gone up 7 degrees in the last 4 days.  Oh well, all I can do is try my hardest.   Come on unexpected cold front from Canada!!!

3/21 – Weights.  Didn’t push it too hard.  Stretching, pushups, and other light weights.

3/20 – FIRST called for 6 x 400 with 10-20 warm up and cool down.  Having never done speedwork the week of the race, I was going to bail.  However, I see Higdon calls for 4 x 400, so I put my trust in the program and ran the 6 x 400 (1.29 – 1.33).  Feel fine the day after.  Seemed pretty easy, actually.

3/19 – Was going to swim, but the pool was packed.  Back and arms instead.
