5.5 mi on the Porter Rockwell Trail, 32*, 54% humidity, lite breeze. this will be a rather lite week considering the medical appointments and holiday....Oh well, it's all figured into my recovery and build up to the start of training for the 2019 Boston Marathon. I've chosen and designed an 18 week training schedule that starts on Monday December 10th. My overall goal is to run a 3:45:00 / 8:30 mpm at Boston in 145 days !!!!

Rest Day, Whole Body Physical at my friendly doctors office today! Dr. "B" stated that I am in the best physical condition that he has seen in a guy my age. He said to continue doing what ever I'm doing to stay in such great mental and physical shape! "BP" - 104/64, wt 169 lbs, setting heart beat - 52bpm at almost 68 years of age, more stats later as the lab results are printed, if anybody is interested ! 1 mile on the short block w/a full body w/o . thats enough for today.
