 Run
Comments: I ran the whole race, except two water tables. I also run with Matthew, not solo, so that kept my pace up. Overall I felt like it was an ideal day for racing but I was probably very under-trained. I'd prepared two clients for this race better than I'd prepared myself! No running over 7 miles, No steady progression of weekend running, no nuthin' What would you do differently?: Plan for a race that was CERTAIN to happen; this one was a maybe until 2 weeks before (due to a family wedding in NY State that we were thinking of attending, though I'm glad we didn't). By the time I knew I'd be running, it was too late to build mileage or do much mental prep except "I can do this!"  Post race
Warm down: Left knee felt pretty sore, still did 12 hours later... I fear doing a quad stretch now, but did stretch hips and calves and hammies after the race. Just hope my knee bounces back. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training and maybe the blisters that formed by mile 11 on my left foot, plus my sore left knee. Last updated: 2008-10-12 12:00 AM

It's a good day for you to race, so enjoy the 10Km and just "go with the flow" in terms of pacing. You'll do fine! Enjoy the cheers, squeals, and sights of all of those racers. Run like the gazelles.

Expert 1060 Weymouth, MA | Subject: RE: Boston Half Marathon Congrats Sunny. I ran this yesterday too. What a perfect day for a run. Of course you PR'd, if you hadn't run passed 7 miles then you had the ultimate taper!  |

Walked from the MFA T-stop to the start area, got everything except the porta-potty line easily taken care of, and then nearly missed the race start due to long lines. 40 jons for 3000+ runners is NOT enough, BAA folks!
