Comments: I was two minutes slower this year than last and I knew that when I crossed the finish line. Initially that left me pretty bummed as I've PRd every race for the last two years. But once I factored in that last year I was peaking in a marathon build for this race and this year I'm just starting out my thoughts turned more to optimism. Effectively my base fitness this year is at my peak run fitness level last year, that's a benchmark I can be proud of.
Additionally, I love trail running, absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I never seem to do enough of it but I think it's time to change that. Hopefully I can incorporate some into this build for Boston but definitely after Boston I plan to make it a regular staple in my running diet.
