Gettin' my tan on...

Just a quick update to let you know that my long run went really well! I was able to pace an 8:18min/mile - a total run of 2:46. That's good enough for me to feel good about Boston. Once again, the compression socks were a savior. Unfortunately, I got caught up with the nice weather that day and didn't think the sun would be strong enough yet to do any burn damage... clearly, I was wrong. Ouch! It hurts :(

Cutting this close

I hate to admit it but I am doing my last long run of 20 miles today (heading out in about a 15 minutes). I left this one way to close to the marathon but I really feel like I need to do it to feel good for Boston. Last weekend was my sister's bachlorette party so obviously I was not going to cut time out of that to do it! Today is my day off so I'm going to go get the run done now. I'll be rocking the compression socks, music, gu & gu brew, and a tank and shorts (cause it's going to hit 68 during my run and the sun is shining!). Ideally I wouldn't listen to music but I kind of want to so I'm just gonna. From the moment I get home until next Monday I'll be in recovery and will really stress easy runs so that my legs are ready to run their best come next Monday! EEK!
