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.

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.
