| Last race before Boston. Ran the Dirty Spokes 6.5 Mile trail run with Hokan. Great race, very difficult terrain. Single track. Was in AT all the time. Never could settle down. Took first in AG. Hokan took 4th. Will do some more of these races this summer. Great change of pace to get off the road for a while. |

| Last long run. I met Ann Marie at the Waffle House. I had already ran 7.25 miles. She had a 3 mile tempo run at 7:35's. We finished, talked a few minutes and I made it back to my original starting point. I was supposed to run 17, but it turned out to be just a bit more. Oh, quads were fried the whole way from the trail race the day before. | |

Rest day. Slept in for the first time to 6:30AM in a long time. Felt good. Legs are still fried. Will hit the gym at lunch and spin on the bike to warm them up and then stretch. |

The temperature last night at 10PM was 75 degrees. Tornado warnings, heavy rain, wind, lightning brought the temps down to 40 degrees at 6AM. The wind was blowing so hard that the car was being blown around while driving to the gym. I decided to bag the outdoor run for the treadmill. Though the run was uneventful, it sure beat trying to fight a 50 MPH head wind. |

| Ran 5.25 EZ with 3 X 1600M repeats in the middle. I ran the 1600's on the AHS track. Clear sky in the mid-30's. Enjoyed the last track workout before Boston as the sun came up. |

Special occassion. I was able to run with my wife this morning. Though we are both training for Boston or pace, program and life don't allow us to run too much as a couple. |

| Taper is always tough. Low mileage, feeling sluggish, legs are like lead. Took today as a total recovery day. Had to switch Race Week up to accomodate for a Monday marathon. |

| 4:45AM. Ran with Laura on a 7 mile recovery run. Laura is turning into a good running partner for me. First thing, she is reliable. Second, she is very efficient on the downhills (which I need help with) and third, she keeps the conversation going. After Boston we are going to plan the next series of races in the summer and fall. I got an automatic entry into the NYC Marathon so that will be my fall race. Laura is looking at the Savannah Marathon in November as well. That will match up right for training together. |

| Wow! What a race! The experience in running this race this year was very important to me. This year my wife, sister and 13 friends ran the Boston Marathon. The day was perfect, the crowds were awesome. My wife and sister qualified for 2012 as well! To have been able to be in Boston with my wife and family and friends made this a special day that I will never forget. | |

| Nursing the injuries. My running shoes ripped at mile 6 causing my foot to slip off the sole on the right shoe. Have some serious bruising on the outside of my right foot. Getting in contact with Asics this week to advise. The shoes only have 160+ miles logged... |

| 4:45AM: Recovery run with Laura. We discussed being consistent on the runs and formulating a training plan for our November marathons. Laura has a lot of potential to shave time on her marathon pace. It will be nice to have a training partner this go around. |
