I hit the trail around Mirror Lake for about a mile.  It was muddy in most spots with some slush/ice in the shady areas.  It felt really good to be in the woods again.  7:11 avg.

Before I was ready to run, my wife said to me, "I have a towel load to do, so you should go take a run, that way I can wash your towel as well".  That got me moving although my stomach was feeling a little queasy over the past 24hrs.  I laced them up anyways, and about two miles in I almost "sharted" my shorts.  I immediately started to think about where the closest public bathroom was..... fortunately TJ MAXX was only a mile away.  I did the clenched cheek shuffle until I was able to speed walk through the aisles to get to the bathroom.  Just like TJ's slogan, I gave them the MAXX for the minimum today :)

That was my excitement for the day,  7:20 avg.

It was raining this morning, but the day turned out sweet for the afternoon.... when I ran :)  My pace probably would have been slower, but I saw the opportunity to take a scalp in the final mile and took it.  7:26 avg.

Felt really good after a forced 3 days off due to my job.  Incredible amounts to do at work and I needed to work through my lunch hours when I typically run.  Oh well..... at least I felt fresh today.  7:11 avg.

I met up with Tom K. and his family down at Lewis Wharf in Boston.  Tom's wife found the coolest place for them all to stay..... a house boat in the harbor!  I have to say, Tom is blessed with a great wife and two very personable boys. 

We ran along the docks and over a bridge for a total of 24:50.  A perfect shake out for Tom before the biggest race of his life!  We then proceeded down to the Hynes Convention Center for the Expo and race packet pick up.  Along the way we passed the Boston Common & Public Gardens where the buses will take the runners to the start in Hopkinton.  Tom was as chill as a dude can be before a huge race..... impressive.  I think things started to sink in a bit as we were approaching and continued to cross the actual finish line.  Everything was in place and there was an excitement in the air.

Good luck to everyone running tomorrow.  I'll be at mile 19 on the runner's right screaming my head off!

May 4th is The Cox Providence RI Marathon.  I unintentionally scaled back my running these past two weeks.  (Craziness at work)  I hope I didn't screw anything up by tapering too early.
