| Did 14 1 mile repeats today. Still don't feel 100% so started out easy and mid way felt fairly OK then as it warmed up I got rather tired....but...I finished the workout! I leave for Boston a week from Tuesday. Can't believe it. I'm really excited for this once in a lifetime chance. 11:11, 10:03, 9:27, 9:28, 8:52, 9:23, 8:57, 8:54, 9:12, 9:37, 9:23, 9:34, 9:51, 9:12

Well I'm in transit for the Boston Marathon. Left Conakry last night and I'm now halfway into an 8 hour layover in Brussels. I'll arrive in Boston tonight at 8:30pm. Hard to believe I'm going and almost there. | | Add Comment |

| Well, did my first ever run in Boston. Took it very easy as I'm quite jet lagged. It was wonderful to run in COLD weather! |

| Slept horribly last night. It was hard to get out and jog a bit today. I walked a lot in town today so I suppose that counts for something! I'm not planning on running on Saturday or Sunday. Saturday I will take a tour of the course and Sunday I'll head to my hotel in town! I'm excited! |

Took a tour of the course. It was awesome! It has a lot of downhill and I trained for some downhill but not lots of downhill. Hope my legs are ready for it. The advice I heard most was take it easy going out. You'll be tempted to go out too fast because of the gradual downhill. Save your legs for the hills and after heart break hill pour it on (Ha! If there's anything left!) Well, tomorrow is race day...predicted temp race start is 50 and end is 60. I can handle that! My running goal is to break 4 hours, but if I don't it really doesn't matter. I just want to enjoy the run and soak up the experience.

| I went into this race with a goal of getting a sub 4 marathon, but ultimately I wanted to enjoy the experience of the Boston Marathon. I started with a plan and stuck to it for the first half...2:00:34 time, but I knew at this point that I wasn't able to get the sub 4. My legs were already starting to feel it. I had been told that the race had a lot of downhill and it did, but there were also a lot of rolling hills that added up. My legs started tiring out as I worked the rolling hills. When I got to mile 24, my legs said...this is enough! My right thigh and left calf muscles were cramping. But, I did make it to the finish line with a 4:21:13 time and this is my 2nd best time and I'm relatively pleased. The experience alone was awesome. I really, really enjoyed it. These were my splits: 9:15, 8:52, 9:03, 8:57, 9:09, 8:53, 9:05, 9:21, 9:08, 9:06, 9:04, 9:19, 9:18, 9:16, 9:34, 8:52, 10:09, 10:02, 10:07, 10:27, 11:46, 10:19, 10:36, 11:32, 11:18, 12:07, 11:07
