I met my limit on races in a season.  Since October I've done a Ironman, 3 marathons, 2 half marathons, and a few smaller running races.  I knew at mile 7 that I was going to have a rough race.  Boston was an amazing experience though.  The crowd helped me to push on even when I felt bad and had no energy.  My quads are shot from all of the down hill running.  Anyone who has an opportunity to run Boston, I would recommend it.  Its an experience like no other.

Just started a sprint triathlon training plan for a race in 6wks.  Since I need a break from long workouts, I just chose an intermediate training plan to keep low miles.

Rode with the local cycling group 25mi.  Nice easy 16.5mph pace.

Jogged 2mi later in the day
