Definitely a good week. Logged the 5th (out of 7 planned) long runs.
The midweek runs have not been as hard as I did last year, but this
seems to be working out anyway, as the long runs are better than last
year. I also wanted to recover a bit more from last weekend's 10 mile
race.
Today (Sunday), I am still a bit stiff/sore from the long run on Sat,
but had no problems on the bike. I need to be careful about "racing"
these long runs, but during the run I felt strong right to the end. I
think I will have to trust my instincts here.
Also got my first look at an elevation profile for the marathon course.
Holy [censored]! This race makes Boston look like a cakewalk in comparison.
I had some brief thoughts of saying goodbye to my Charlottesville
entry fee and signing up last-minute for Boston on the same weekend
(signup is not closed out yet).
Good runs, all.
