Ran with Ed our old standard 20-mile run. It was through very strong hills and we gave it a little stronger push today. Felt good with the effort, running it in 2:29:04 (7:27 pace). Boston doesn't even come close to touching the hills we attacked today. Kept mp on miles 19 and 20 (downhill, then flat) and felt very strong at the end.

Nice pace!

Thanks! Coming from an elite runner, you made my day! It's been difficult trying to train through winter, so I'm just beginning to regain sanity and hopefully a little more endurance and speed.

thanks...and I agree, its probably a good idea for me to give the body a little rest...these last couple months have been the most mileage weeks that I have ever done, so I am happy with the progress, and appreciate all the great advice you have offered.

Brian.

This mid-packer thinks it was an awesome pace.

Ditto Robert. I'd be happy with a 5k at that pace.

You are looking stronger each week as you get ready for Boston. You are going to destroy it!

Great 20 miler! Boston will bow down to you!
