Notes

Gearing back up for the double doing another long run... Probably the longest solo run in about a year. About 5 miles from home headed back in a headwind the whole way I just wasn't feeling it. At this point I figured people wanting a free pass back to Boston need to stop complaining and get out there and bust their ass doing whatever it was that got them there in the first place. Would have rather just gone out for the usual 13.1 maintenance run but ran a strong 16 and change instead to bridge across to the Maine Coast Marathon. The only reason I'll be running another marathon in two weeks is because I want to take a swing at improving my qualifier... busting my ass to ensure my ticket for 2014. I want to be part of the strongest field in recent history.

Pulling for you to heal up that back and get this done. I fully understand the motivation (just signed up for Lehigh Valley for the same reason). Bold move on the quick turnaround though.

Good luck. This strong run above won't be wasted, just get to the line healthy.

Thanks. I'm now just looking at this weekend's run as an experiment. I'm just looking to have fun at this point.
