3pm and 38 degrees, no wind. The goal today was to do a base run + drills thrown into the middle of the run [5 sets of both skipping hill bounds (30 bounds) and running no arms (60 seconds -- thumbs locked in front creating a circle with arms trying to keep hands as still as possible)]. The entire run was progressive in pace, and I think near the end I was probably running sub M-pace, but I'm not sure. I tried do the hill bounds up hills and the running no arms down hills. All downhills I encountered that were not being utilized for drills I tried to hit moderately firm to get ready for all the downhill of Boston. (Drills occurred about every 4-5 minutes alternating between types.) 10.1 miles in 1:12:30 (7:11s) I suspect that if I took out the drills it would have been more like 10.1 in 1:11 ((7:02s). Finished with 1.15 cool down in 9:00 (7:50s). Overall a good run.

This workout looks interesting. I will have to try when I'm fully recovered. I have been trying to take it easy pace wise on the track. It's harder taking it easy than it was to train. UGGH! Thanks for the Boston spreadsheet. That will definitely come in handy. Can you believe how warm it is today? I need to head outside and toss the football around with my son before the rain comes.
