| Imperial palace again. I don't really know too many other place to run so that will probably have to do. | | Add Comment |

| Imperial palace. I ran down a Japanese running team of sorts and that made for a few pretty good pacing miles. In the end it was probably more trouble than it was worth, but since I've been running fewer miles it is probably good to get a little pacing work under my belt. | | Add Comment |

| One last day around the palace. My hip hurt pretty good which I think is largely the result of running on the pavement. Tomorrow I will be back home though!! | | Add Comment |

| Really long ride and then a three mile run with Cara. Felt good but I'm a bit worried about pushing it at Boston because I just didn't have great mileage in the month of March. I guess we will see what happens between now and then. | | Add Comment |

| Looped along the creek today and felt OK. I'm still pretty tired from this weekend and still jet lagged from Tokyo, but things are coming into place. There is still the worry about my lack of milage during March but whats done is done. | | Add Comment |

| After taking yesterday off my legs felt great. My hip barely hurt at all and it took ~6 miles before I even felt it. All in all a good run but I am still mad that I had to miss yesterday. | | Add Comment |

Well I made it again and in PR time. THe wind was pretty bad after about 15 and I feel like in ideal conditions my time would have been 2-3 minutes faster. All in all I'm quite satisfied ... I'll write more later when I get home from work and pull my splits off my watch. Here are my splits: 1- 6:26 2- 6:06 3- 5:59 4- 5:54 5- 6:06 6- 6:03 7- 6:06 8- 6:08 9- 6:03 10- 6:08 11- 6:12 12- 6:02 13- 6:06 14- 6:03 15- 6:13 16-18 19:01 (6:20 pace but I didn't hit my watch) 19- 6:25 20- 6:45 21- 7:01 22- 6:27 23- 6:40 24- 6:31 25- 6:51 finish- 2:45:52 My pace slowed considerably when I hit the hills at mile 16 as expected. The wind really picked up at around the same time and the combination really did a number on my mental state. Even so I didn't really explode until the 7:01 at mile 21 when things really went south a little bit. My training in the last month has not been consistent enough to support that kind of pace for the whole thing and it seems like 20 miles was about the limit for the effort. None the less I was happy that I lasted that long and managed to limp it home for a PR. Interestingly I recovered really fast after the finish and was jogging to try to cool down a bit in only about 10 minutes. I'll take that as a good sign and set my sights on the next race. More consistent preparation should help the last few miles and hopefully I can push down into the low 2:40s! | | Comments(7) |

| Slow recovery run. My calves started to loosen up but my knee has a bit of a tight spot on it. I don't think there will be time to run tomorrow though so it should be just fine. | | Add Comment |
