Cherry Blossom 10 Miler

Sunday, April 1. With the cherry blossoms in peak bloom, I exceeded my previous 10 mile PR (Army 10 Miler, Oct 8 2006, 1:10:02 @7:00 per mile) by more than 3 minutes! That equates to a pace of 6:42 per mile which is much faster than my training pace (usually 7:30 to 8:00 per mile).

I'm starting to think crazy thoughts about Boston. Can I sustain a 7:00 per mile pace for the distance? That would just be crazy but look at the elevation profile of the Boston Marathon. It's all down hill except for a couple of notable exceptions.

I'll meditate on my time goals. I've still got a couple of weeks. It's time to taper.
