Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 14 at marathon pace.  Still trying to get a feel for my marathon pace.  Wasn't expecting to run much faster than 7:15-7:20/mile.  After starting off with a 7:04 mile, the second mile came in at 7:50 and it took more work to get it.  Normally I would panic at this point but since I plugged the route into Sasha's Course Tool last night I knew this mile would be slow because of the elevation gain (it actually came in very close to the predicted time on the tool).  Settled back into a decent pace and all the remaining mile splits came in between 6:55 and 7:10.  Ran the last mile in 6:30.  I intentionally ran without my fuel belt so I could be lighter and get used to running on less fuel.  I actually felt really good during this run.  Heart rate was around 155 most of the run then crept up to 160-164 the last 3 miles (peaked at 174 during the last mile).  It is getting warmer and other than the rain the weather was perfect.  I had to ditch my jacket at my sister's house half way into the run.

Thanks for the comments on my blog. Your running looks strong and dedicated. What is your goal for Boston. I think really the key to Boston is not really the hills it's the last few miles after heartbreak hill from what everyone is saying.
