| Did 10K at the track with strides. Started off slow, gradually got faster just because it felt comfortable. It was about 15-18 degrees cooler than my Sunday night run, which helped. Did 10 X 100m strides which felt smooth. All in all a good confidence boost. Hard run tomorrow, then basically cruise into Boston. |

| Dress rehearsal. Three at MP, two warm/cool. Went well, even though it was almost 80 when I started. Don't think it will be 80 in Hopkinton on Monday. At least it better not be. |

| I probably wouldn't have run last night anyway, but huge thunderstorms took care of that. Hail, 60 mph winds, tornado sirens, the whole nine yards. Sleep was a little bit delayed. Anyway, plowed through the last day of work without any blatant malpractice, then got two easy laps of the tennis court trail at BG. Wind was howling, just like it will be in Boston on Monday. Downwind was much easier, upwind much, much harder. If the forecast of WSW holds, my BQ/PR gets a lot closer to reality. Took it very easy tonight, then stopped on the way home to get Chinese (didn't really even break a sweat). Now in nine hours, I'll be on the plane for Boston. It's finally here. |

Wish I could say the trip to Boston was uneventfal; it wasn't. Lots of turbulence. I believe if the flight from FSM to Memphis had lasted 30 seconds more, I would have thrown up. And Memphis to Boston wasn't much better. Survived the flight, getting to the hotel via subway was easy, did the expo (huge and crowded), met Alison for coffee and catching up, back to the hotel, shower and go to the FE.
FE was a blast. We had a big upstairs room and it was full. It was wonderful to finally meet these imaginary friends I've been tracking on RWOL and Facebook for a year and a half now. Stayed too long, wanted to stay even longer, but I'd been awake since 2:30 a.m. and I was exhausted. Then it took another hour and a half to fall asleep once I got back to the room.
Another FE tomorrow, a short run, the carbload at Maggiano's, and then the race on Monday. |
