Good man Brandon. That sounds like a tough old workout. Are you planning on only doing cross training for Boston? Is that your experiment? If so, it'll be interesting...

Now that's a workout! Very impressive.

Thanks guys. Bam I'm not racing Boston, the plan is to finish with a smile and just enjoy the experience without putting any pressure on myself. I plan on running some as soon as the body allows but i want to stay as fit as i can in the meantime.

The science project has more to do with strength training and diet change. I am now walking around at less than St. George race weight. It will be interesting to see what happens when i can run 80-90 miles a week with a semi new body. Details to come.

I just noticed your weight. 149 pounds! Wow! Nice work. Lean and mean!
