61F, S 17-21 mph. 7:30 AP. Did 1 @ MP on the way home. That was my last long run, which I wanted to do 1 week out to keep my usual taper schedule. Should run ~41 miles for this last 7 days, which is about 50% of my average week in this buildup.
This Boston meteorologist is giving good news so far. I think I'll re-read this article in 7 days for a good laugh. |

66F, S 17-23 mph. 8:26 AP. Nothing interesting to report...don't feel bad, don't feel great, just ploddin' along.
The 3 local Boston weather stations are saying 54, 68 and 70 for the Monday temperature. | |

AM - freezing rain and wind this morning at home.....naaah. I'll run later. I did find my favorite Boston forecast so far though:
This is the best of the bunch so far....most have it a bit warmer, but no one is predicting a headwind, so I'll take that as great news.
PM: 38F, 6 @ 8:14 AP. A lot calmer, weather-wise. Busy today, but finally got in an easy 6 with some low-intensity strides.
Man, that front that came through was crazy. It dropped the temperature by 50 degrees (from 80F to 30F) in about 8 hours, and we has some wind gusts over 60 mph last night, which (of course) meant the neighbors' trampoline came crashing through our fence again. | |

28F, 7:12 AP. 2 @ MP on the way home, 6:37, 6:33. Felt like I had good springy legs for the first time in awhile. Might have timed the taper just right.
Weather is starting to look even a bit cooler for the race, with light winds. Here's my forecast of the day from 7 News in Boston:

40F. No watch (it's packed up already!). 5 miles with a few strides. This is my 86th running day in a row. I only mention it because tomorrow is my first day off since mid-January.
A lot of forecasts have gon to a bit of a quartering headwind, but with even cooler temps. Might finish the race in the low 50s, which would be great. The winds are still pretty light, so hopefully won't make much of a difference.
We're off to Providence, RI this morning (my aunt is hosting the 4 of us until Wednesday).
Bib = 3325 for anyone interested. | |
