Ok, so I got some flack on Saturday for not updating my blog enough lately. It is true, I took some serious time off from detailed updates from the blog. But, I am committed to being back on more consistently. As many know, I took the time away from the blog to study for the bar. I am glad that is behind me and I never have to study for that thing again.

This morning I went out solo for an easy loop. I don't really know what I will be doing for any plan these next few months. My next major race is Boston, so I think I am just going to average around 4-5 days a week to maintain some decent fitness for now.

It was a brisk morning, but felt good in shorts and a long sleeve. I don't have specific split data because I am borrowing my mom's Garmin until mine arrives (my 610 fell off in my last marathon and broke so I ordered a new one). I know my first mile today was close to 8:00 but then I just felt like I needed some faster miles. I have not really pushed the pace at all since the BCC Marathon on 9/14. It felt good to have a little quicker turnover and the last 3 miles were around 6:55. Nothing too crazy, but a little quicker.
