You have it right, PC. Typically, I would increase the speed going down the ladder. In fact, I did that but only slightly, running the 800s in 3:03-3:05,and the 200s in 40-43. The fact that it was my first workout at the track in this training cycle made me a bit more conservative. Plus, I ran the recoveries faster after the 600 and 400.
Weather is MUCH BETTER, thanks. We've stayed above 0 C for nearly a week. Starting to feel like Spring! I am traveling for business this week, so even better weather than in Cleveland.

What are your travel plans? I'll be in Connecticut on business this week, just an hour and a half from Boston, but I'll be flying back to Cleveland, then getting back on a plane with my wife and flying to Boston on Saturday morning.

Any one free for beer on the Monday evening? Else I'll be having my first alcohol of 2014 alone!
Also, is there a way to link my race progress to Facebook? For London last weekend my friends progress at start line, half way and finish got posted automagically.

I'll be having my first beer after the race too. I'll be with the family but meeting a fellow marathoner once he's picked the venue. Once chosen I'll post it up. The more the merrier. Good luck to all the runners. Boston is awash with them.

I have arrived in Boston. No beer for me, free or otherwise but I hope it will be nice, in particular after the abstinence. Heading to pick up numbers later today.

I went for a slow 5 this morning to test out the hamstring strain I've been resting for 2 weeks and a couple of miles in it pinged again. A very sore 3 miles back.
It's uncomfortable to walk right now. I know the sensible thing is to bail and not attempt the run, but as I managed a few miles in pain today workout it deteriorating I'll start and see how it goes.
Not good
