| 4.5 miles with Ry and Iggy up towards Ry's Rock!!! I'm so mad! They are beginning to plow our trails down to make more spaces for homes! I'm not happy! |

| 19 miles with Shelbey, Blake ran 5 with us (which is the furthest he has ever run). Super cool! We mostly took it easy but pushed the last 2 miles. That is also the furthest that Shelbey has ever run! Cool! AP 8:39 |

| 8 miles with Shelbey in the blasted heat after work!!! So, this was a killer run but a great run! The plan was to run 8 miles total with 3 X 1600. When we started our run it was 88 degrees, when we finished it was 91 degrees. I needed to run those 1600s hard but I didn't want to get discouraged due to the heat (or since we were running tired after a long week of work). Hence, I looked up a conversion chart for running in the heat and decided that if I could hit those 1600s around a 7:15/20ish I would be happy in such temps. It was to look like this: 1 easy, 1 super hard, 1 easy, 1 super hard, 1 easy, 1 super hard, 2 easy. When it got to our first hard I didn't even dare look at my watch until it beeped. It felt harder than I was expecting and so I just wanted to focus and deal with it. I was shocked when the mile rang in! Shocked and happy. Our fast mile splits were: 6:46, 6:48, 6:49 (yea, I know they got progressively slower but this is SO MUCH faster than I was expecting under these conditions). Super happy right now. Super tired right now!!! Ha! :-) The Boston Marathon usually proves to be a struggle for me. I have set myself up well for this one. But will I be able to race it right? The only time I was able to race it correctly was three years ago in the insane heat (so didn't get the time I was trained for but did better than expected under those conditions). Ugh ... I have no idea how to race that course. I really do need to reach out to someone and get some advise. I always crash mid Newton Hills! Boo me!!!! (But yay me for today's run!) :-) |

| 12 super fun miles!!! First 6.2 were with Ry, Shelbey and Blake on the Bloomington trails system! Then we dropped the boys off at finished the 12 running a faster pace. Felt like the perfect run! This was the longest Blake has ever run, so super cool! :-) |

| 7 miles run with 5 at MP (which actually ended up being faster than MP now that I know what my MP pace at Boston was!!! Ha. I should have been writing my SGM MP or my desired MP! Ha!) |

| 7 miles up to meet Ry, Shelbey and Blake for breakfast at The Crepery. For some stupid reason I was thinking it was roughly 5 miles. But then I hit Bluff street at just over 4 and I was like CRAP! That's 3 more uphill miles to go!!! Just slowed it way down and made my way up. It was actually starting to rain and I was a little cold. Then when I got there I was freaking out because I had run 2 miles more than I wanted to and it was all significant uphill the last half. I thought I had messed up my marathon and that stress made my asthma act up. So then it felt harder than it should have!! HA!!! Shelbey called me down quickly and told me that I was thinking crazy! That two miles more, especially with me running up there slower, was not going to affect anything! Funny what taper madness does to you! SO CRAZY!!! :-) Breakfast, btw, was EXCELLENT!!! Yum! Time to get ready to head to Boston! Bitter sweet since this is also the last day we will see Blake while he is gone selling for Vivint in Cali for 18 weeks. Boo! |

| Roughly 6 miles walking in Boston: packet pickup, various eating spots, Blessing of the Athletes, etc. The Blessing of the Athletes is one of the highlights of Boston for me! It is at The Old South Church right adjacent to the Finish Line. This year they had one of the gentlemen that ran towards the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing (to assist in anyway he could) pronounce the blessing. It was quite touching and made me get teary-eyed. I often get nervous about the bad things that happen in the world, but then something reminds me of how much goodness and kindness is still out there. I think that most people in this world believe in (and share) love and kindness. Humanity always wins in the end. :-) I also LOVE our traditional pre-race meal at Filippos with Lulu the waitress and Lowell and friends! Another must when you come to Boston. It was especially fun because Christine and Benny made it out this afternoon! So much fun being with them! Wish I could have spent more time with Smooth! Only saw her and Larry for just a few minutes. They both looked fantastic! Wonder if they will have time to do a quick brunch before leaving Wednesday afternoon. I have never met two people like them! They are AMAZING and certainly radiate that love and kindness I was just referring to! :-) Not running until the 3rd wave so plenty of time to rest and pump myself up by making silly lip-syncing videos and sending them to Shelbey and Rylee!!!! Race Eve is FUN! | | Comments(2) |

| SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I know that this isn't my fastest time at Boston, but it is my second fastest time at Boston, and I feel awesome! Got on the buses in plenty of time with Christine and Benny and then just chilled in the Athletes Village for a couple of hours. Did the usual: stand in port a potty lines, write my name on my arm, sip on some water and Gatorade and nibble on some bread and protein bar. The plan was to all start in Christine's corral. First time ever that I had friends to stand with right up to the starting gun. The second part of the plan was to not run out too fast. The third part was to finish. And the fourth part was to feel good enough at the end that I had no reservations about running another marathon in just under 3 weeks! Done, done, done and DONE! So happy!!! :-) I enjoyed the course this year more than ever! Noticed things that I have never noticed before! Saw Santa, noticed all of the names of the little towns we were running through, enjoyed the beautiful Cochicuate Lake, noticed all the signs (especially the one of Ryan Gosling that was a giant shirtless poster of him that said, "Hey girl, keep running. I'm waiting for you at the finish line. With a puppy. And a glass of wine."), loved all the women and few men at Wellesley, heard an old friend who moved to the Boston area scream my name, counted all the hills through mile 16-21 and said, "Ha! I gotchoo, to each one (in my head, of course, not out loud, because that would be crazy), gave a shout out to the Citgo sign, and soaked in the crowds through the finish. I really loved it this year!!! And guess what? Zero pain and NO cramping! I feel awesome!!!! Beyond thrilled! Yea, my time wasn't the best. I could blame it on the heat but I ran a faster time in much worse heat in 2012. I think I simply got the time I trained for, and I am completely satisfied with it. Boston is a harder course for me! BUT I STILL LOVE IT!!!! :-) And because I had such a great experience I am going to write some boring stuff below so I can refer to it later!! :-) Actual distance run: 26.52 miles Time: 3:36:41 Rank overall: 9750 Rank Gender: 2626 Rank Division: 369 Runners who finished: 26,639 Male runners who finished: 14,471 Female runners who finished: 12,168 (Which in a nutshell, if my math is anywhere near correct, I kicked roughly 7,347 male buttocks, well I guess that should be doubled, right? Since buttocks come in pairs and all. So, roughly 14,694 male buttocks today!!! Not to be petty or anything!!! Hee Hee Hee Hee) __________________________________________________________________________________________ (For me to peruse through later . . . ) Sunday Breakfast: yogurt with granola and Chia Lunch: Teriyaki rice bowl at Snappy Sushi Dinner: Pasta and salad at Filippo's Before bed: 1 emergency pack and 1/2 teaspoon magnesium powder Race morning: 1 emergency pack 1/2 ciabatta bun 1/2 Gatorade peanut butter protein bar 8 oz of Gatorade 6 oz of water 30 minutes prior to starting time: 1/2 EmergenC tablet 2 power gummies (orange blast) Throughout race: couple of swigs of Gatorade and water when it was offered Gu X 4 (every 45 minutes) 2 Hyland leg cramp pills at mile 21 when I could feel my calves start to tighten up No cramping during or after race. Jogged a couple of times afterwards (about 100 feet), was able to walk back to the hotel (1.4 miles) with Ry, Christine and Benny without any problems. No pain afterwards, or now. :-) |
