1 week from now I'll be somewhere between Hopkinton and Boston!

Today was my last workout with any speed until Boston. Ran w/ Darin. Felt really good today. I seem to feel really good with the every-other-day workouts. I just hope I have the endurance to finish a marathon strong (without too much fade).
