March 11 (114 miles/week)

AM: 11 miles easy/moderate plus 15k tempo - 21 miles total

I struck out from my mom's house an ran the same course as yesterday, which meant a solid 75 minutes of rolling hills before jumping into the tempo around Memorial Park. I figured that this would be another good Boston-specific workout: running over a ton of hills, most of which are tougher than anything the Boston course has, and then trying to run fast.

It worked out pretty well as I averaged 5:33 pace for the 15k tempo. I took only a gel and ran this in trainers, so this was a good effort today. This also caps off my highest week of running in quite a long time, and I'm happy to end it on a high note.

Splits (2.96k per lap): 10:21, 10:07, 10:10, 10:15, 10:12 (10:13 average)
