Day 4 (Marathon Countdown)

Did a 4-miler at lunch, today. Ran 10:08 miles and felt great. The weather was a bit chillier and I really enjoyed it. In addition to the cooler weather, I really took notice to the wonderful smell of honeysuckle. The running path has lots of honeysuckle plants all along it. Honeysuckle is my favorite smelling flower.

My boss was out running at the same time. She passed me going out and coming in (meaning: she started later than I did, passed me, ran farther, and passed me on the way back). It took some effort for me to stay at my slow taper pace, because I really wanted to race her. She does triathlons and is in great shape. I'll have to save triathlon training for next year or so. It sounds like a lot of fun.

...that's a pretty generous lunch break...unless you're running 6 minute miles...

...oops, never mind. I see you ran 4 miles at 10 minutes per...I thought 10.08 was a bit too many miles a few days before a marathon...even for the BirdMan...
