Got the Boston Marathon bug yesterday!!! For the past 14 years I have been cheering those that fly by...and every year I always say, "Hey, I should run this thing", then everyone can cheer me on.  It was a pure rush watching the thousands of runners wisk by and I could feel the energy...So I am going to bite the bullet and bust my hump to get to the starting line next year.

 

6:30 A.M. - 7:30 A.M. 45 degrees 6.0 miles today at 10 minute pace...good weather. I felt slow and pushed myself to run without walking but I had to walk a couple of times.  I normally run 4 miles a day but I need to start bumping up the mileage.  I will jump back on the road tomorrow same time...hopefully my legs/lungs feel stronger.
