Master runner

Met with Ian and Marlyn at the Boston finish line and Jerry never answered his phone so we took off on a little river shake out run. Nice running trails they have in Boston.

Man oh man it's hard to know where to start with this report. I have so much to cover.

I started out waking up about 1a.m. with jitters. I was so excited to be there and was ready to go. I knew that I should lay in bed and at least try to sleep rather than getting up so that is what I did and finally got up at 4:30 and knocked down my shower and put some body glide on my feet and what not. Put my racing suit on and when down for some starbucks. The line at starbuck was long so i remembered they had a dunkin donut shop in the mall so i when to investigate the line there and learned that the mall wasn't open...so i went back to starbucks and got  my coffee and oatmeal and bought a banana and blueberry muffin for the bus ride to Hopkinton. 

The plan was to meet some fellow Oklahoma runners at the Westin Lobby and walk up to the bus loading area together. On my way over to the Westin Hotel I walked by the finish line and snapped a few shots of the finish line while it was quiet and no one was really around. 

  I will have to come back and post more on this later..overall i pr'd but wasn't real happy with my time due to how far off it was from the level i trained. I felt like i let a really good day get away without putting in an effort that i am capable of running. Haven't put my finger on specifically what happened. I think the Hills took a toll on me.Race 

I was thankful to have finished without me or my party being harmed  and offer prayers to the families of those who were affected. This was so horrible.

Finish Line Boston 2013 

took the day off...went for a walk with Mary and Sophie when i got back in town...traveled home the majority of the time today.

took sophie on a mile run..she is getting fat. nice and muggy out. supposed to have some tornados fallin out of the sky anytime. legs felt good. calves are a little tight but think i'll go 5-6 tomorrow. 

A.M. PF 12.03 with Big Slim Jim. he was doing at tempo 10 miles at pace and i joined him. Was super suprised my legs felt as good as they did. think I will snap back from Boston pretty well. I have never felt this good this soon after a marathon. giving the full some serious consideration.

PM -   met up with Daniel and Nolan down on the earlywine trail for a easy 4.6 miles...North wind had a little bit to it.  Man I can't believe how well I am feeling..  

Did a little PF work run 5 out and back. nice and easy. Legs and all still feeling pretty good. Meeting out at Draper tomorrow for a long run. 

Had a good crew this morn. did 6 on dirt roads with some mud then got on the roads for the last 11. was feeling pretty good till about mile 10-11 then started feeling like i need some water...cause i did need some water. ran the rest of the way in feeling pretty empty.
