LR from NH Plaza with Court, Jason x 2, EricD, Landrunners. Boston Boost Orange. 43 w/90% RH, 39 DP at beginning; below weather stats is post run. Today forecast in 70's with possible record high. Tulsa Pollen site states Juniper season is winding down and almost over; they are ceasing monitoring as of last week. So should have decent breathing from allergies until ragweed season picks up March.
Run today: took 1 caff gel after 4 mile WU with Court, Jason x2. Then during rest took 4 gels of which one was caffeine. Only caff for day. Poptarts and granola pre-run. I started feeling the stupid overtraining aches/muscle soreness about mile 14 including the tightness in traps. But overall got it done and feeling more confident about at least BQ at PHX. Avg 8:01 pace for entire run which included 5 miles at ~9 min pace or slower. Finished up helping Court finish her 20. ~55 miles on week.
Everyone accomplished what they needed to do today; JH is like a new person compared to when I first ran with him this time last year. He kindly ran with me today and seemingly could have ran another 10 or taken off at race pace. His running is solid and PR-city on the way. JB...where did he go?? Like a roadrunner he was off to run MP pace for a more aggressive marathon training LR...he should since he is looking at elite Master goal time. Feel good about him getting it too.
Off to visit both sets of parents and enjoy some BBQ!
