Nice job on the hill repeats. I have not done any hill repeats per se, but my work route is quite hilly and I usually hit it hard at least once a week with negative splits. And we always have hills in our Saturday route, so that's prob the least of my concerns. I'm more concerned about a good weather day. I am def feeling ready. March will be my biggest monthly mileage since I started running marathons and probably my best build up overall. My friend just posted that he badly strained his calf doing intervals which will prob blow his Boston this year. Needless to say I am taking no big risks from this point out. Mostly easy weekday runs and maybe a marathon pace or slighlty slower medium long run Saturday. The Auburn race looks fun. </p>

I ended up doing 7.2 mi with 5 long hill repeats. They were killer but it felt good and I worked hard. My legs were definitely tired from boot camp yesterday but that's good.</p>

<p>Ron - I have no idea how high the hill is - it's a dirt road near me and the hill is definitely more than 1/4 mi long. It's actually pretty steep for the first half and then it's just challenging after that. I didn't wear my Garmin so I don't know. Yes, it is good that work is busy!</p>
<p>JB - No, it's not the Lilac Festival 10k. We will most likely do the Great Race again in Auburn and the leg I do is the 10k. I have to get revenge on that course because last year I totally blew it and I'm still pissed about it. Less than 3 weeks - you ready??</p>
<p>Andi - I think the shoes you are asking about are Chacos. Really comfy footbed with a good arch and they are good for wearing in the water, too. </p>
<p>Paul - I like hills, too. I really like pushing myself like that and feeling spent when it's all over. </p>
