Last Hurrah.

I did my final 'long run' today - a good 8 miler around the Charles River.  I went out with a grad student from Spain who I was thinking I'd have to ditch (at an 8 min/mile pace).  I was surprised when the 7:30 pace we were running appeared to be an easy lap around the river for her - shows you what you get for making assumptions about people.  In the end, it was good she ran with me as it ended up being a perfect way to cap the training plan.  A few more 'easy' runs next week to keep the legs fresh - and then i'll hit the race circuit for the first time since March.
