First Boston 20. This one kicked my butt! I wasn't sure where I was going to go for the run, but I waited until after 8:30 because it was in the 20s. I decided to go Butterfield Canyon and Bacchus and back. This was a tough course with a lot of long hills. I did take some drip drop with me and was glad I did, even though I had never trained with it. Pretty chilly and windy today, which added to my already tough run. Finished decent with sub 7:00s and a 6:24 last mile. Feel trashed though and glad to have this one in the books. Foot was about the same, not bad sometimes and bugged other times. 7:27 ave and 2:28:58.
