| Ran 5 at lunch with Darin, Eric, and Sergio. (This is the largest lunchtime group I can remember running with). Weather was excellent! 60, sunny, 7 MPH wind. We wanted to run about an 8:00/mi pace..after warming up with a 7:49, it got faster from there. The bad thing about taper time for me is, that I feel too good whenever I finally get out and run, it is hard to slow down! Long story short--finished strong with a 7:19/mi AP. Splits: 7:49, 7:23, 7:29, 7:21, 6:33 HR: 129,144,145,153, 161 AP: 7:19 I still need to finish preparing my tax return!!! Tonight...for sure, I'll finish...it's not that hard, it's that I'm such a procrastinator..

Rest day.
Did a little pre-race Boston shopping. Went to the local Dollar Store and bought a few essentials; Nutri-Grain bars, salted pretzels, large trash bags (to stay warm and dry before the start). I looked for some blow up air mattresses, but couldn't find any.
I'm getting a little nervous about the weather. Every report is different. I'm guessing it will rain sometime during the weekend, and probably some on Monday. The 19 MPH headwind they're predicting is something I'm used to now, but would prefer it to diminish. I'll just hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and take whatever the day brings. :)
Time to start packing! | |

| One last post before I head to the airport in the morning... Didn't get a chance to run today (too rainy/lazy). Yesterday, it was too windy..and my dog started following me, so I just turned around and went home. I'll be thinking about all of you while I'm running this weekend! I hope to have some great pictures to post when I return. Talk to you next week! -Marc | |
