great weather and run. Nice splits and so consistent with a kick at the end! Welcome to taper madness....two weeks one day and a wake-up and it's show time!I can't believe how the time has vaulted past and it's just about time to Run the Boston Marathon.

Thanks Slick, do I dare be the first to mention that the weather forecast is looking great for the marathon.......

HBR - That's a mighty brave position to take two weeks and a day out, especially for BOston. I do hope your right and the weather gypsies don't mess it up!!!!

Good luck at Boston! You look ready to go!

Thanks Jim, I'm feeling pretty good about my training and the weather looks like it's going to be nice so no excuses if I don't have a good run.
