Welcome to the east coast of Virginia.  One week it's 73 degrees and the next it's 45.  Well it seems 45 suits me for my long runs! Yahoo..... I tried the Vanilla Bean GU which wasn't bad at all, I've had worse things in my mouth before.  I think I went a little late, mile 7 and I took it with plain water rather than gatorade/water mix.  I think race day, I'll "GU up" around mile 5 and again at 10. 

Thanks to this guy, I'm going to beat 2:18!

I want to thank this running coach, Men's Fitness Model, & #1 smart a** for getting me there.  Your encouragement and wisdom is appreciated and John and I are thankful for you!  We can't all run Boston and look as fine as you, but we can sure try. :)

Good luck this weekend to Jay (my baby boy is running 5), My honey, Sam, Penny, Padilla, Bob, and Travis.  Travis, thank God it wasn't a torn meniscus and just that dreaded IT band that we all love to roll out.  Good luck Bro-"don't puss out, just push through." LOL....
