LONG ROAD TO BOSTON

Boston is replete with American Revolution History. It is also home to American Running History. The Boston Marathon is the stuff of legend, the hope of every long distance runner. Runners work for years to reach this event through time qualification. So far, I'm no different. After losing 70 lbs and running 7 marathons I'm still pursing the qualifying time. This site is solely dedicated to document my journey to this wonderful event. I reserve the right to write about other things, too.

I Think I'm Ready

Well, I have made it through to the last long run on my schedule. I completed 22 miles this morning under threat of severe rain. Temperature today was 77 degrees with 86% humidity. It was a fairly tough run but I managed to get through OK. I guess you could say the wind up from Hurricane Ike helped keep off the effects of the humidity. It almost felt cool and it even rained occasionally. Ahh!

After I was done, I enjoyed breakfast with some of my running buddies. Actually went to The Original Pancake House. Boy, they serve a whole lot of bacon. Four big, thick salty pieces of bacon. Just the right combination of salt and protein. And pecan pancakes, too. After a short trip to Starbucks I went home, suffered a 20 minute ice bath, took a shower and napped. The perfect way to start a rainy Saturday.

Now, three weeks to St. George. It's taper time.
