AM:  Was hoping for a "big day" workout.  However, my schedule is completely full today.  This is absolutely the most challenging time of year for a pastor in regards to "free time".  Was able to squeeze 6 miles in at the gym, 3 @ 6:30 pace (3 hills, 1-3% for .25 miles each).  Have 3 meetings in the evening, yet if I have any energy left will try to run "hard" on TM late evening. 

 

PM:  Did 20-minute leg work-out + 6miles on TM...5 @ mp (6:48).

I don't know how you do it on the TM. I think that takes a lot more commitment and determination than running in the rain or snow.

You're going to do well in Boston.

Good job getting in what you can. It is always a balancing job between work, family, running, etc. You seem to have a good mix so I wouldn't stress much about the running. You have been building a strong base and it will pay off in Boston.

Thanks guys! The TM has helped me tremendously through a tough winter. I'd much rather run outside, and yes, the TM can be challenging, yet there have been days in which the TM is the easy way out.
