Not sure.  I'm exhausted.  I have not had a break since September.  I don't think I've slept much in three weeks.  I would prefer just the drinking.  Plus the knee and swollen foot will be happier.

Well then, bottoms up!

 

Oops!

 

2 for 3 is a great night in the major leagues.

Oh here's one other thing I didn't do: get cannoli at Mike's Pastry. I tried twice, but lines down the street both times. I have had them before, but still.

For the first time in years, I didn't check the weather for the marathon until Sunday and for the first time in 6 years, Chicago will have perfect racing weather.

 

Don’t forget the big hunk of meat to go with it.

and a jar of peaches!

 

Shit, that's almost as bad as running 3 hours...I said almost!

 

What's on tap for the weekend, something in the 12 - 14 mile range?

I am not sure yet.  I can feel Houston breathing down my neck

My fire is in my face at this point.  I win.

If you're part of the Boston Marathon Training Group on FB, they go to Cheers after the race for a meetup. I didn't, because I wasn't staying in town and given the weather I didn't want to go to my B&B and then back to town, but if I'd been to town I would have.

I didn't buy anything at the expo, because the lines were so long and we had to get back to our car, parked at a meter. I did get a massage of sorts (machine that did wonders on my hamstrings and glutes) and picked up some free gels and protein bars. It was fun.

 

Go back & read my RR.

I just did  I’m glad I did because I didn’t realize you weren’t running for much of the summer prior, which makes me feel better since I’m just coming back
