ran about 3.5 miles in san luis park fairly easy, but pushed the hills a little bit to really stretch the legs.  haven't felt very good this week, but hoping i will feel better for the "race" saturday!

 

just found out i have to have surgery on my salivary gland to remove a stone that has been bothering me for 7 years now :( my first time going under the knife! it is an outpatient surgery, so it shouldn't be bad. i am having it done on wednesday. i wasn't going to do a long run this weekend because of the race, but looks like i should since i may not be up to it next weekend.

Glad I could be of some inspiration! I'm jealous that you have found a track club because that hasn't exactly materialized in my training, but I'm hoping to join one soon here. Our half times are very similar, so I am confident you will reach your Boston goal. The best pre-race advice I received was to take it out at a comfortable pace and pick it up at the half-way point.I'm not sure if I negative-split the race, but I do know that it really helped to be relaxed in the beginning and not think about times.
