Meagan and I met Emily Kroshus at the parking lot of the Nahant causeway for a nice run on a chilly spring morning day. The ocean was really calm except for a few rogue waves splashing over the sea wall when Meagan and I put in 10 minutes before Emily arrived. My legs have been really tired the last couple of days so running with the girls really forced me to slow down and relax. It was just what I needed to help the body recover. I could tell on a couple of the climbs in Nahant my quads and hamstrings didn't want to lift.
I should mention that before showing up to the run Meagan and I spent the morning watching the World Cross Country Championships. It was a great showing by Neely Spence for 13th overall and the men's squad claimed a silver. Read more about the race over on everyone's favorite website www.letsrun.com.

Emily's 30th Birthday
Time: 130:32
Distance: 30.84 km
Pace: 4:14/km
Map
Today's run was in celebration of Emily Kroshus' birthday and to make it even more memorable we ran 30k with a 30 minute tempo section. Meagan gives a better recap of the run so I'll direct you over to Green Lightning Running to read all the delicious, hilly and poorly communicated details.
The splits of the tempo section were:
3:45.1, 3:42.8, 4:01.0, 3:38.3, 3:49.3, 3:42.8, 3:50.6, 3:25.2 for 29:55.1 and 8 km total.
The effort on all of the splits was about the same, but the pace fluctuated wildly due to the terrain. Meagan ran hard throughout working the uphill and practicing her downhill skills.
We ran easy for a section while looking for Terry and then the pace picked back up the final few miles running back to Emily's. I was pretty tired toward the end of the run, but feeling like I had made good use of the faster sections. My legs are still a little beat up from the 16 miler last Sunday which became apparent trying to press the hills in the Arboretum.

Boston Course Long Run
Time: 113:16
Distance: 25.08 km
Pace: 4:31/km
Map
Meagan and I drove to Cleveland Circle to run with a group looking to put in their long run. Last week when the BAA met at the same location there were nearly 100 runners in attendance. This week it was all women and me. Then Jenn (Donovan) Lutz and her husband Justin arrived and I had someone to share football with.
Did you see the 49ers game? I expect big things from them this playoff season.
My legs were pretty tired after yesterday's effort so I was content to take it easy. We ran a little slower than I would have liked, but I was able to recover and just enjoy being on parts of the marathon course. I have never raced the Boston Marathon and I'm not sure if I'll ever think the Newton Hills are "easy." The few times I've run the hills have been when I'm: a) out of shape, b) running on tired legs, c) coming back from injury and out of shape. So, today was no different.
