I got up early and ran 9 miles at 6:45 a.m. I didn't run on Easter because I was having too much fun with the family! Anyway, there is something to be said about running right at sunrise when you can watch the some come up over the houses and feel its warmth. You can hear the birds sing loudly instead of being drowned out by the cars. You can feel the cool air turn a little warmer with the sunshine. Oh it is so special and I highly recommend it! I ran 2 miles warm-up, 4 miles at an 8:08 pace, and 3 miles easy. I finished the 9 in 1:18:22 with an overall average pace of 8:42 It felt great.
TOTAL MILES: 9
WEEKLY TOTAL: 30.2

Hi!
I've been "lurking" around your blog for a while now through your Boston training, but haven't yet commented. I just wanted to wish you good luck this coming weekend. I hope your Boston experience is all you wish it to be!

PS - I know I've seen you put your bib number on here but now I can't find it...
Glad to see I wasn't the only one to skip the planned Sunday run. I didn't get mine in though... I commend you. Great run!
Just one week! I'm so excited for you. I have a post-it on my fridge calendar w/ your bib #, hoping I'll be able to catch a glimpse, but then you might be too fast! :)
yea, put your bib# up. i forget it. we will all be "watching" you on patriots day.
remember, negative elevation gain of 442 feet for the course and heartbreak hill is only a gain of 80. piece-o-cake.

All of you guys and gals are great! Thanks for constantly rootin' for me to run well in Boston. I need that! Thank you!!!
Meghan, hope you come back and visit again. I will check out your blog too. :)
Tom, you just put some confidence back in me. As I run through the Newton Hills my mantra will be, "Piece-o-cake." I know that will help me!
