Worst. Race. Ever.
This time includes the 40 minutes I spent in Medical at Mile 10. Unbelievable challenges today. Sick and puking at Mile 4. Locked up legs. 88 degree heat. Not enough food. BAD DAY.
I will be back.

Last run before the big day!! I felt great! No big effort to run this pace and the last mile was at 652 pace!! I'm ready. Let's do this.
Splits:

Walked on the beach with Bri...coarse wet sand made for an interesting walk, it was quite resistive. It's not like sand in Florida that, when wet, gets all packed down and easy to walk on. This was like walking thru fresh snow...wet or dry it was the same surface. We walked about 1.2 miles.

Sweet first run in my new Kinvara 3's. By a freak chance I came across a demo pair of these shoes and snagged them. They're not even available on the market yet. SWEET!!
I had so much energy today that I had to keep telling myself to slow down. All my runs this week (except for Saturday's 1 mile TT) are supposed to be easy and slow. I just kept wanting to go faster. All these splits are at an easy effort level...even though some of the splits seem like they aren't.

Travel and rest day for me today. I haven't had a day off in over a week and I need to keep the legs in order. I am actually feeling confident...confident that I'll be able to finish in 3:10, maybe not confident in that 3:05 I'm after. I have made a playlist for my iPod that paces me to certain miles with certain songs. So...ramp up stuff in the first 10 miles, quiet stuff when I'm running past the girls at Wellesley, Nicki Minaj on Heartbreak Hill, and songs with LOTS of energy for the last part of the race when I need it.
I'm getting psyched. Even thinking about race day is making my heart rate go up. I feel like this is my first Boston, even though it's my fourth. I feel a lot of pressure this year because the qualifying times are 6 minutes lower. I will be required to run my BQ time from four years ago this year. I don't know that I'm in that shape! Of course, I have Toronto to do in four weeks so with its flatter course and the cooler, and (hopefully) dryer weather, I should be able to make it happen. I just don't think I'm in the shape to PR my marathon at Boston after being sick for two weeks and only REALLY training for three. I have to resign myself to the fact that Boston will probably be my long tempo run in training for Toronto.
