Odd thing about my sore, achy knees. They seem to hurt a lot less when I run fast. So I'm going to do that at Boston.

I've never heard of a Kenyan with hurt knees. Good plan!

Seriously, while I was warming up at 9 minute pace they really hurt. As soon as I jacked it up to 6 minute pace, no pain.

Alberto Salazar has an autobiography coming out. I read an excerpt in RW last night. Probably going to be a good read. And yes I guess I am saying I got something positive out of reading Runners World, in-between the ads for obstacle course race.

The journalism in Runner's World is very good. The long pieces they have done recently on Scott Jurek and Frank Shorter have been excellent. I

Yeah I've been surprised by that magazine - there is usually one article that makes me flip back to the cover and confirm that I am actually reading runners world and not running times.

Blood flow? Nice game plan for Boston: Run fast...
Have a great spring break with your family. You're probably heading into your taper anyway, so take advantage of it.
