Nice gathering of folks in support of Boston this evening.  We ran "5.2 at 5 for Boston" to mimic finishing the marathon for those who got turned away at 21 miles on Monday due to the attack at the finish line.  The organizers first announced the run on Tuesday expecting 40-50 people... by Thurs, they had to change the venue and add sherif's dept and city permits and liability insurance and porta potties and course marshals because the facebook event page had grown to 500.  By this morning it was over 1,000 - it ended up with just over 1,000 running/walking, and over $12,000 raised to send to the Boston Red Cross.  Felt good to do something - we had 4 local Boston finishers at the start line and several Marines and ROTC kids.  I kept it between 7:30 and 7:45 pace fairly comfortably on a rather warm humid evening.

Mile warmup then 8x two minutes on and one minute off at about 5k pace (6:45 for me right now). Finished with another mile cooldown.

Nice run on the trails after work - spent the whole time going over and over how Travis should race tomorrow - sheesh, I think I'm more nervous than he is.  4x800 at 1:45, 1600 at 6:57 and 800 at 7:48 - supposedly will be a link to live stream posted at flrunners.com.  Gonna go try to sleep a while now.
