57F, 8:36 AP.  Felt better today, but I got 7.5 hours of sleep which was unusually nice.  I think lack of sleep may be contributing to my inability to recover from hard efforts.

Anyway, I registered for Boston last night!  Or applied anyway - we shall see if BQ minus 4 will do it.

Great weather up there! Sleep is good. I've been sleeping in the last few days and not getting up early to cycle. I'm afraid I'm getting used to it :-(

I'm excited for you going to Boston, wish I were going too :-)

Sleep is good! Boston you are in :)

Good luck, Joe.

Yup, a lack of sleep will do it. If I were not able to sneak in a nap during my hour long lunch breaks now and then I am not sure I would make it. :-)

You will get in, no doubt. I think last year most got in with 3 minutes or better. Don't forget, a lot of people who should have re-qualified at Boston 2012 didn't because of the weather, and there are not many opportunities for a make-up race during the summer.
