11 1/2 Hours to Boston:

Me, Kasie & Acadia at the finish line

Today was a relaxing day.  I went back to the finish/expo area to take in a few more symposium talks and just enjoy the energy of the crowd which had been building as the day progressed.  I met Kasie and Eli and just strolled around town for a while enjoying the weather and hoping the light west wind will be there for the race tomorrow. Pre race dinner- pizza!

Tomorrow the race starts at 10am but due to the logistics of this race, my day will be starting at about 4:45 am.  I have to be at the bus at 6am for the ride to the start.  So far the weather is looking perfect for the marathon!  Sunny and mid 50’s for the late morning.

Everything’s ready to go.  I have my clothes and shoes organized and food to eat on the bus set to grab and go!  All that’s left now is a solid night sleep…
