21 Miles Tomorrow!!!


Tomorrow morning, they're busing us out to Hopkinton and leaving us there.

It's up to us to run back to BC where our cars (and sanity) will be waiting for us!

This is it. The "long run" and our chance to see what it's really like to run the Boston Marathon. Well, the first 21 miles of it anyway.

Lisa and I are running with a huge group helmed by the Arthritis Foundation that buses people to Hopkinton so they can experience the highs and lows of this challenging course. A practice run, if you will.

I ran a little too hard this week, starting with that super fast 12 miler on Saturday, then a killer track session with Somervile Road Runners on Tuesday, pilates Wednesday morning and pretty intense hill repeats Thursday morning with Beth.

My quads are a little achy and that's not the best way to start a 21 mile run, but I'm just going to take it easy. It's not a race. It's a practice run.

Now, off to bed.
