4/12/15 to 4/18/15: Screw Tapering!

I keep talking about how Boston will be a supported training run, with the goal to run the first ~4 miles just getting warmed up, then finish the race running 95% to 100% of my goal marathon pace - the goal race being the Vermont City Marathon at the end of May. With that being the plan, I backed off only a little bit this week, dropping below 80mpw for the first time this year and skipping the Thursday tempo that has been a staple as of late.  Both felt forced, and I feel like I should have just done a 10 miler on Thursday night. I'm sure I'll be happy tomorrow, but whatever.
