AM - 20 miles. Long run on the Boston Marathon course. Started at my hotel (near Boston Common) and ran the course backwards until I was about a half-mile past the Newton firehouse, then turned around and did it the proper way. The hill right after the fire station is the toughest of them all (in my opinion). Glad I was able to do this today, as I'm guessing most of my runs over the next couple mornings will be along the river. Skipped the PM run in favor of a long nap. I'm in Boston for Saucony's sales meeting (aka "Saucony General Conference"). Tonight was the opening presentations and there were 3 fantastic talks by Richie Woodworth, Pat O'Malley, and Chris Linder. I feel very lucky to know these guys (and so many other people at the company). The Saucony team just exudes passion for the sport. Lots of exciting stuff on the way... I'm looking forward to the next couple days here. |
