Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Charles River Boston. So many runners out! And a gorgeous day. My sleep has been poor all week. I really want to run this thing, but I don't want to not have it on the calendar anymore. It feels like Christmas as a kid.

Did not negative split. Temps got pretty warm starting in the middle of the race. My hammies and right piriformis were acting up but I could tolerate them starting at mile 9ish. I had to slow after heartbreak, but could finish the race running and not having to walk. Pretty happy with how I felt at the end.

Charles River in Cambridge, MA. Nothing feels too injured/sore, legs just feel really heavy and dead.
