8:34 AP - 7mph on the treadmill.  Danielle left a day early so had to start a 3-day treadmill odyssey today.

I got my updated Boston confirmation card in the mail yesterday.  Yep, I updated my seed time for the 1-minute PR I ran.  Obviously.  I don't want to be lumped in with all the lowly 3:01 people, you know.

You will have a sweet number! I am going to have to train hard so that I belong with the lowly 3:06 crowd! Lol

Easy six, that is what is on my plan too ... Good job getting yours in early! I am waiting for the sun, but it appears if I continue to wait I will be running in the rain.

And then after Boston you'll be w/ the 2:50 crew!

JG - you seem to have a knack for some great race performances; I'm sure you will finish well.

Jake - yeah you never know, maybe there will be an 80 mph tailwind.

I learned to love the tm.....mix it up it's not all bad. Excited for you at Boston....just take in a game for me!

I was thinking I might bypass the 2:50 group & go for 2:48 ... Somewhere like St George! :)
