Boston Training, Week 16

Week 1 of taper. Just trying to get the piriformis back into shape at this point and avoid doing anything too stupid.

Tuesday - 8 mile hill workout at 8:06 pace. Piriformis was quite sore after this run. The hills seem to be aggravating it again.

Wednesday - 4.1 miles at 9:01 recovery pace.

Thursday - 7 miles at 8:19 pace. Piriformis still pretty sore.

Saturday - 4.1 miles at 9:17 recovery pace.

Sunday - 14 miles at 8:33 pace. Not much energy during this run. Didn't sleep well the night before and the piriformis has been really sore, even when I'm not running.

I'll be taking it easy from here on out and hopefully everything will heal and strengthen. Starting to get excited but still need to settle on a race strategy and get mentally prepared.
