Held the run until 8:30AM.  It had poured rain all night and even at 7:30AM the rain, lightning and thunder was pretty bad.  I ended up running the 20 alone.  Two of my friends were supposed to run with called me and told me that they ran the 20 miles on Saturday.  I was upset that they blew me off and didn't have the guts to tell me that they changed plans on Friday.  These kinds of situations you really find out who your true friends are...Finished the solo 20 miles at an average pace of 7:42's.  3 seconds per mile too fast, but the HR was in the zone.

6 Mile run with 3 miles of track workouts.  I am hitting my peak point.  Need to continue to focus on the task at hand and not get derailed heading into taper at the end of this week.

Woke at 4:30AM to loud thunder, lightning and a downpour.  Had 12 miles to run this morning.  I could have handled the rain but the lightning was lighting up the sky and seemed too close for comfort.  Headed to the gym and knocked out the miles on the treadmill.  I broke it up and ran 6 in one area of the gym and 6 in another.  Made the time go by faster.

Last race before Boston.  Ran the Dirty Spokes 6.5 Mile trail run with Hokan.  Great race, very difficult terrain.  Single track.  Was in AT all the time.  Never could settle down.  Took first in AG.  Hokan took 4th.  Will do some more of these races this summer.  Great change of pace to get off the road for a while.
