The end is in sight

I had a good week of running this week. This was undoubtedly due to the fact that race day is now in sight and the mileage is less. I had a fabulous trip around the seven mile loop at Lady Bird Lake this morning in beautiful conditions - upper 40s, light breeze. All that remains on the training front are three milers on Tuesday and Thursday plus another three miler Saturday in Boston. I'll probably do that on the hotel treadmill.

The only preparation left to do is to eat properly this week - I'll start emphasizing carbohydrates - and to make sure I've got the proper clothing for the race day weather. As with all weather reports it seems, the forecast for the 21st is uncertain as of this writing. One website calls for 68 and sunny while another predicts 55 and partly cloudy. Fortunately, so far at least, there is no rain in the forecast. But I'm sure that too could change.

I will be hopefully be posting daily updates from Boston starting Friday evening, April 18.
