Forums >Racing>1 day to go (to Boston)
And there's this....tour the course in 8 minutes with a Masshole at the wheel....
That scared the shit out of me.
Anyone going to use bhearn's pace strategy?
Well I'm planning to run a slight negative split again, but I probably won't use the paceband this year. This will be a 3:20ish fun run.
Are we there yet?
Unfortunately no sub 2:55 in the cards this time.. but thanks for the pace band bhearn!! It won't go to waste..
That is the million dollar question.. What pace do you plan if you are uncertain of a goal time?!?
I'd like to see 1:29:29 @ half - just in case I'm feelin it comin off this injury BUT that could turn into a trainwreck...
Dopple please put me down for Grandma's 6.19.10 - sub 3.. as for Boston I have no flipping idea.. see log
The Boston Globe's marathon central page has lots of good stuff, the interactive map under "The Course" is pretty cool.
I don't know if it's been mentioned here, but Adidas prints a two sided poster with every registered runner's name on it. You get it at the expo, but it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it.

and the weather channel officially starts my weather freakout obsession.
High 57 Low 45 ?
It'll be nice and nippy compared to the 80 degrees here in SC.

Last tune-up done. 10k in 36:06.
Nice tune-up Thundah, you're on a roll. If you don't blow up on Patriots Day you're gonna kick some serious asphalt.
If you really want to freak out check out this thread over at RW.
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.
That is awesome. I need to bookmark that so I can just check one page and get all 6 sources of freakout while he does all the work.
Week to go. Let's hear some predictions (aside from the weather.)

I am NOT looking at the weather until the night before.
