I love these little runs at lunch time. Today it was raining, cool, and lush. Just the right temp for me (high 40's). I decided to run up to the East Lawn Cemetary from my office. I wore my Official Boston Marathon jacket and felt all cool going down the road. I have so enjoyed the tapering runs and now the reverse tapering process. I'm giving myself 2 weeks to go easy before starting back up again for Utah Valley Marathon. But for now, I'm relishing the idea that tommorrow's main activities do not include3 hours or more of running first thing in the morning. I changed my profile picture to one of my Boston photos. By the looks of the shot, I'm really going for it. Too bad, by the time this photo was taken during the race, I was struggling to hold on to 9's. Can't believe Boston is now a memory. One of the best ones I have. Many years from now, I hope to look back on it and remember how it was to be young, strong and part of one of the most famous races in America. I hope the vistis we made to Lexington & Concord (on the very anniversary of the ride of Paul Revere, April 18th) and our walk along the Freedom Trail in Boston made an impression on my children. I am so grateful now I put myself up to the task. |
