Today marks 17 weeks out from Boston Marathon Monday. My coach had me take off last week from running after finishing up my fall “racing” season. Fassino Design created a nice infographic showing my stats leading up to today.
I had a blessed season of running from September to last week. I avoided “racing” and just cruised in the last mile of each race rather than trying to leaving everything on the table with a finishing push (that didn’t work out well in June :-). That said, I dropped all my PRs by about 10%, primarily due to weight loss:
| Distance | Old PR | New PR |
| 3 miles | 21:53 | 20:04 |
| 5K | 22:11 | 20:54 |
| 10K | 48:35 | 45:03 |
| Half Marathon | 1:45:52 | 1:36:32 |
Now I’ll likely take a break from “racing” until the end of February when it will likely be time for a tune-up half marathon.
