Good luck to all the Boston peeps! Just make sure to find the starting line tomorrow.
Woke up at 3:30 this morning for no good reason. Ate & hung out for a few hours till it got light out, then ran 12 miles. Longest run in quite a while; for the purposes of my log I'm calling this a LR. Ended up being right at GMP+10%, just like the Hanson bros would tell me to do. Actually felt really, really good.

Also, the sheer quantity of attractive people is amazing.
LOL. We met one of DH's friends up in AC last weekend. He is single but had to work Sunday so had left Saturday evening. DH called him when we got home and the conversation went something like, dude, you have to volunteer at one of these running things. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

12 miles is a long run FFS.
Nice job DP.
Run to live; live to run
5.5. I beat the rain. The weather channel said 100% chance of severe thunderstorms and rain by 10 am and it was 9:15 so I high tailed it out to get my run in. Made it!

Ha. Growing up all our vacations were camping trips and we had a lot of time in the car. We had 3 rotating tapes we listened to -- John Denver, Simon and Garfunkel and the Kingston Trio. I've listened to that song more times than you can count. I always felt sorry for that poor guy -- why wouldn't his wife hand him the fare along with the sandwich?
Life is good.
I ended up doing 50 minutes of core stuff then finished up with 10 minutes on the elliptical trainer, the first time I have been on it in forever.
It was nice to sweat like that, which is one thing I miss about running...anyway, now for a small breakfast of scrambled eggs, grits and flax seed toast.

Wow. Today I ran 13 miles for the first time in forever. The last two miles are uphill and they hurt! It was a good hurt, I guess, but I don't know if I can run 26.2 miles in two weeks. That would REALLY hurt. We'll see.
Good luck to the Boston runners and ENJOY!
Nice job, guys!
For the first time in 3 weeks I feel great. I am even cleaning out my closets. My husband saw all the shoes put out and he exclaimed IT'S AN EXPO! LOL.
Ran long. To honor Boston marathon weekend, I ran for 26.2
Since I'm in Canada, those were km, of course. In miles, it translates to a less impressive 16.3.
Finished the Flying Pirate HM, walking with my friend. Have had some race food, a beer, and a shower, and now it's time for a nap. Two nights of hotel sleep followed by 13.1 has me pooped!
We'll be driving tomorrow, so I won't be able to stalk Boston. Good luck everyone!
Congrats, Blue!
Shari, I wonder if taking it easier the week before your HM might make more sense than continuing to build that week?
I have 6ish on tap for today.
