Week leading up to the "great BM"!

I guess it takes all kinds of roads that lead to Boston, including heavy, wet snow covered roads. I managed to run 10 miles in our winter wonderland on the all purpose trails. The trails must have had 12 inches of snow on them, which made for a great cushioned surface to run on. I had fun making fresh foot print tracks in the snow. I didn't even mind my feet getting wet and cold. Besides I was enjoying the beautiful scenery in the park.

This week workouts include:
Monday - 30 minute Power Yoga with Graeme Street's Cyclo-Zen DVD
Tuesday - Kalahari Water Park with the cub scouts. I promise not to go crazy on the slides. If I get home early I'll do some 1/4 mile repeats on the treadmill.
Wednesday - swim 1000 meters and spin on the bike for an hour.
Thursday - 3 mile run at marathon pace.
Friday - swim 1000 meters and more Yoga with Graeme
Saturday - fly me to Boston
Sunday - 2 mile run on the Boston course or on the treadmill.
Monday - Run the great Boston Marathon (BM)

Maybe I'll see you sometime this weekend!

Have a great time, Lou. It will be exciting to track you online.

You had a great training season. When you take the early miles easy, if will be difficult to hold back as it will seem like 100s or 1000s of runners are passing you. Then come the half-way point in Wellesley and then the steep downhill into Lower Newton Falls--you will still be cruising along and all of a sudden you will be the one passing the 100s or 1000s of runners.

Enjoy it all. Wish I was there with you this year.

Best of luck at Boston, and take all your clothing with you, it might be a wild race there this year! Have fun!

Hey Lou,
Hopefully it works out so that we can all meet in Boston.

Based on the latest forecast for Boston, it looks like that snow running at home may come in handy for you! ;-)
