Notes

Great race. Aqua toe socks, race ready shorts, 2006 Boston singlet. Took 6 or more gu's, gatorade, succeed every 5-6m, banana at Runners' village. Oatmeal, berries, and coffee with milk before I left in the morning. Felt pretty good, and struggled to hold my form, but managed to do so on the up hills, and the later downhills coming through Boston. This is the data from my OLD garmin. My new one fell off my wrist at 8.9m when the strap broke off from the watch! Thank goodness I'm enough of a running nerd that I had 2 garmins on! This was my 2nd best time ever! And more than 11 minutes under my qualifying time for next year, so I should be able to register in the early registration.

Yes; I really amazed myself. Part of the latter part was remembering what it was like a few years ago when I had my best race ever and try to keep up that good energy in the last few miles. Seems like it really worked....
