Planning to run an easy mile or two tonight after I get all my ducks in a row ... heading for airport at 6:00 tomorrow morning. I honestly thought I had convinced myself that I was just going to just enjoy Boston, and not worry about my time. However, as the days tick down, it just does not seem like a race without a goal! Hence, I have settled on a goal of 3:10, a 7:15 pace ... this equates to a 45 minute 10k, which should be sustainable, at least for the first 16 miles! I do reserve the right to change my goal during the race, as many times as I want, as long as I finish somewhere between 2:59 & 3:30! :) The latest forecast I have seen calls for a 1% chance of snow, so that is what I am praying for ... although not sure how that could happen with a low of 50 & high of 71. I think it is pretty safe to say that chances are the temps will be in the 60's during the race, maybe 50's at the start with a little luck. 10mph winds out of NNW, which is not a bad thing! I am dropping a quick note to BAA, to see if they might consider moving the race start up 7 AM. My bib number is 4608, if you care to be bothered with text updates, just text 'runner' to 345678, you will get a reply asking to enter bib number. Text updates are at 10k, 1/2, 30k, and finish. Since my goal is a 45 min 10k pace, please do not cheer when you get the first text saying 43:xx ... start praying instead please! :) Best of luck to everyone who is running!
