I felt more like me this morning. My legs feel a little bit lighter. I ran a couple of hills, one short and steep, the other long and gentle, before mixing in 5X :25 strides (5:30 ish) with :25 recoveries over the last mile. On the last quarter mile I thought I was just jogging around 8:00 pace but the Garmin said 6:50. Hey, that's a good thing. :)

The triathlon club here in San Diego (TCSD - the best tri club anywhere!) is meeting at 6:30 AM on Marathon Monday at a Dunkin Donuts close to where the buses transport the runners to the race start. I will definitely be meeting up with them that way I can have some conversation on the way there.

I am unbelievable excited! I do not know how I am bottling it all up inside. I just want to go crazy! Hopefully that bottle will just explode on Monday morning at 10AM! I really want sub-3! However, at the moment I am at peace with the following:
1) I am running THE Boston Marathon. Does it get any better?
2) My training has been superb! I think there were only 2 or 3 max workouts that I did not complete feeling strong.
3) The hay is in the barn! At this point, all of the work is done. Right now, Monday is just looking like the world's best party, and I am on the guest list.

Happy Thursday everyone!
