Five Days and Counting
I did my last "tempo" run yesterday at noon - 40 minutes total with the middle 20 at threshold pace. I felt really strong and was able to exceed the pace target that Coach Mike had set.
Starting to get a little freaked by the weather forecasts for Monday. The marathon website had the following announcement:
Weather Alert - Monday's Boston Marathon
Wednesday, April 11 - As the Boston Athletic Association continues to make preparations for Monday's Boston Marathon, we are monitoring the upcoming weather conditions forecast for this area. Based on the National Weather Service's most recent report and in cooperation with the Executive Office of Public Safety (Commonwealth of Massachusetts) and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, together with the eight cities and towns along the 26.2-mile marathon route, we are planning for likely heavy rain and windy conditions on race day. However, all race day plans remain the same. The Boston Athletic Association advises participants in Monday's race to plan accordingly for their run, bringing with them gear and apparel to suit the conditions. The B.A.A. will continue to update this web site as necessary.
Oh well, I suppose that being a hearty Canuck and having done my training through the dead of winter, I can put up with a minor hurricane on race day ...
