Wow, seems like a lot went on this week, but not really. Glad to be completely recovered from the cold I had last week - just in time for Mayors Cup. I was particularly very happy with my workout on Tuesday as I ran it approximately 40 seconds faster than a year ago. Friday's treadmill run was not bad either. I am not an expert with incline and their conversion, but it was a pretty hard run, maybe someone can fill me in on that. Today I helped pace a group of people running the Bay State Marathon in Lowell who wanted to break 3:10. Coming up this week will be Mayors Cup 8k, which I am very excited about. This is a race I've been waiting to run for quite some time now. I am feeling in the best fitness I've ever felt and I am hoping to position myself right up there with the leaders. If you are around the area, you don't want to miss out this race. Good luck to everyone racing.
