Couldn't sleep at all last night. Woke up at 2 a.m. (eastern) and was too anxious to go back to sleep. It was finally light enough at 6 a.m. to go out running. I couldn't find my Garmin (must have forgot to pack it) so I decided to just head out the door and wander around the city. Ended up running along the Charles river bike trail which was pretty cool. The only other people out were the rowing crews in the river and a few groups of East African runners running along the river. Weather was perfect and I was actually over dressed. I wanted to run by Fenway park on the way back but got a little lost so I headed back to the bike trail. Because of the misdirection, I ran a little more than I planned. Mileage is an estimate based on gmap-pedometer. Took a 3 hour nap when I got back to the hotel.

Total Time: 55:00 (7:38/mile)

It may be good that you forgot your Garmin. I noticed you pay too much attention to your splits and speed up or slow down based on the split feedback. While it is a good idea to take your splits, you should run by how you feel, and use a watch only for recording data. I would recommend not even looking at any timing device until you get to mile 15, then set a time goal and go for it.

Almost a PR, but effort-wise, a true PR, especially given the conditions. Boston is a slower course than St. George even in ideal conditions. Looking forward to the full report.
