Thank you! So excited to have another DIS-er out there. If you're comfortable DMing me your bib # I'd love to track you and cheer as I run!

I'll definitely be stopping by to say "hi" even though I'm not checking a bag because I'll walk by gear check on my way to the hotel to shower!

If it's the same as before, I'll be on a bus corresponding to some range of bib numbers. Will let you know.

Boston Marathon Journal
​

Oh my God. I'm running the Boston Marathon tomorrow. I have a lot of thoughts but I'll save those for tomorrow. Let's just say, it's been a long time coming (- Taylor Swift).

April 9: 5.00 miles • 55:21 • 11:04 avg pace
Easy miles on a Tuesday night followed by my last salad until after the marathon. I was pretty steady here, with miles at 11:00, 11:03, 11:14, 11:04, and 10:58. It was colder than I expected, and I had worn a tank top and capris and ended up changing into a long sleeve that was sitting in my car.

April 11: 4.00 miles • 43:07 • 10:46 avg pace
Tuesday morning before work. We're back in the office 4 days a week so I didn't stay long after the run. It was another cold morning - why couldn't this be the race weather? Miles were 10:55, 10:48, 10:54, 10:28.

April 13: 3.00 miles • 32:15 • 10:44 avg pace
Saturday group run and my last run before Boston! A shakeout, if you will. "Laps" were 11:11, 10:34, and 10:27. It's fun ending on a downhill. I really should race a 5k while I have this fitness... but I did swear to taking off a whole month. Anyway it was a bit warm but I stuck it out in long sleeves and long pants. I wore literally nothing I ever run in and it was all terrible. Leggings wouldn't stay up so I had to carry my phone, the shirt was cotton. Just a mess.

I'll report back tomorrow! I went to the expo on Friday and Saturday so lots of photos to come!
