Woo-hoo! Just got my Bib # from the BAA, and I am #4158! The Boston Marathon is pretty unique in their bib assignments in that they truly line up the faster athletes up front (based on qualifying times) in corrals by the thousands, so pretty cool to be in the top quarter of the runners. Will be joined by Shane (#4433) and Crystal (#5666 (la diabla)) very closeby, so even more cool!
Sumo wrestler finishes marathon and sets record, Abderrahim Goumri finally wins in Seoul, Paula is training again!, pics of Paula, Shalane (awesome RW article), and the curious case of Ryan Hall and his free pass at NYC last weekend...
Monday, Mar 21 - 4 miles. Very slow, legs felt like garbage. Starting to get warm outside, which is nice.
Tuesday, Mar 22 - 4 miles (32:25). See Monday
Tonight, headed to Forest Park for another killer workout with Crystal. 2X1 mile at tempo, 80 minutes easy, 2x1 mile at tempo. Really don't feel too hot, hoping the warmup will help, but foreseeing having to gut this one out.
