Would anyone like to meet up in Boston on Sunday morning at The Marathon Scarf Project? It is held at the Boston's Old South Church and will have a ceremony that will "bless the runners and wish them Godspeed and a safe run". I believe they have two services. I'm not sure what time each one starts so we can decide which to go to. You can find out a little more about this at:

http://www.ucc.org/news/boston-marathon-scarf-project-02212014.html

Let me know if you're interested and we can set some final plans. We could also go to breakfast or lunch depending on which service we go to. :-)

Now for today's run. I would have run this LR on the weekend but I still wasn't feeling that good so I waited until today. I ran my fast 7 miles @ 7:09 so I was happy with that. I tried to run slow enough to bring my HR down to around 140 on the last 5 miles.

Kym and I are planning to be there for the 9:00am service. We should definitely meet up!

From I Just Run on Tue, Apr 08, 2014 at 13:46:20 from 67.79.11.242

RT,

Great, I'll plan on it too!

From derhammer on Tue, Apr 08, 2014 at 13:51:53 from 64.245.52.2

Maybe I am blind? I don't see the times for the services.

From I Just Run on Tue, Apr 08, 2014 at 13:53:05 from 67.79.11.242

DH,

I didn't see it either but RT said 9:00 so I assume that is the early one. It might be a little less of a crowd then.

From Tom K on Tue, Apr 08, 2014 at 14:16:05 from 174.58.4.250

Great run, IJR! It doesn't appear that you have been set back in the slightest by your cold! Very nice!

I have other church plans Easter Sunday with the family. I'd still like to meet up sometime.

From Tom Slick on Tue, Apr 08, 2014 at 16:30:50 from 168.179.157.44

My friends, Hillbilly Runner and Canyon and I are planning on going to the 9:am service. We will see you there.

Nice run today. I've often toyed with doing some of my LR's on Tuesday nights. Sometimes weekends just don't work or you don't feel up to it.

From I Just Run on Wed, Apr 09, 2014 at 08:33:44 from 67.79.11.242

My phone # is 512-757-0063. Call or text me so we can figure out when and exactly where to meet up!
