I slept in late this morning - yesterday's 3:30 a.m. wake-up call caught up to me. Our hotel is near Logan Airport on Boston Harbor. I went out and ran along a walking/jogging trail along the harbor and into a nearby neighborhood and back for a total of three miles. There were a number of runners both on the trail and in the hotel fitness center getting in their last miles before the race.
After lunch at the hotel we took the "T" downtown to the Hynes Convention Center where we attended the pre-race expo and I picked up my race number. Afterward we attended a get-together of the Melanoma Foundation team at Clery's Bar and Restaurant. It was nice to put a face to the names of the team members.
Trish, the race coordinator for the Melanoma Foundation had given us passes to attend the "Mayor's reception" for race organizers and other dignitaries so after appetizers at Legal Seafoods in Copley Plaza, we attended the reception at the Fairmont hotel. We had some food and drinks and then after a couple of relatively short speeches and a couple of video presentations about past men's and women's Boston Marathon winners, we headed back to our hotel.
The weather forecast remains favorable for race day.
