Woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn't fall back asleep.  Tossed and turned for a while then decided I may as well go out and get me long run in early.  I have some non-running related issues weighing on me and I really couldn't focus on my running for the first few miles.  My mind was elsewhere and I was just going through the motions.  About half way into the run, I was able to relax and my mind turned toward my running.  I felt a lot better and was able to quicken the pace a little.  Altered my route and threw in some rolling hills just to spice things up.  One taper week down and two weeks to go.  Glad I got out because I was able to solve all the world's problems during the run (or at least my problems).

Good luck at Boston, you have likely heard this advice, say 100 times, Boston is an easy course to go out too fast. Many a runner have paid the price going out too early with a death march up the Newton hills and on to the finish. I ran the 100th Boston. Have fun and enjoy the race. Its the best.
