Thank goodness running-log is back. The site's developer Branton Boehm last logged in 2015, but maybe he's still keeping an eye on things? I tried to find an email address for him online, but the one on his personal website didn't work.

Ran to MIT this evening for a final pre-race tune-up. Figured I'd more or less mirror this week what Anthony had the team do last week. It was raining steadily, dark, and chilly. Started off with a hard 800m aimed to go 75 per lap, and was pleasantly surprised when I managed to run 71s for total of 2:23.5. Then the MIT women's soccer team arrived and I left before they could kick me off. Apparently tonight was an NCAA championship tournament game. Ran 4 more pickups at "kick" pace along Vassar Street in the bike lane that's in the middle of the wide sidewalk (there were no bikes at this hour). Each of them was about 35-40 seconds except that last which went for a minute. I think I did a pretty good job simulating the end of the race and coaxing my body into going fast when I was fatigued. Need more sleep!
