Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

four more miles on the island. if you saw where i was at you would understand why. not many runs compare to this!! AP 8:30. Wore a different pair of running shoes. Still don't know which ones to run in. Drove into Boston with my family/cousins. Took the train in. Expo for an hour. Got my alignment checked. I overpronate greatly with my uninjured foot and only slightly with my injure foot. Align is a insert product to help this. It was very informative but no time to break in the inserts so I didn't buy them. They actually have you stand on a platform and it is obvious how off my feet are!! WOW!!! I never knew I was that bad. Like an unrotated car tires on an old worn out car!! That was all my thoughts about running. Not even thinking much about running the marathon-- my plan is to "jog" it. And with the latest warning from the Boston Marathon today (even having the option for all runners to defer their entry to next year) telling all runners to slow down and even the fittest of runners can suffer greatly from this heat wave coming. 88 degrees and 79 percent humidity. Humidity has only been 30 percent the past two days so this could get real bad for marathoners and spectators as none of the trees even have leaves on them-- NO SHADE. I am not backing out and have even considered running in a bikini with a sharpee written remark " Where's the Beach?" Even thought of a carrying a beach ball to throw out along the course. :DDDDDDD. Too funny. I am not worried at all since I am not going to be serious at all. Finally a race where I can relax and enjoy myself. I have really just been chillin' with my family preoccupied with catching up with them-- since it has been 13 years since I last saw them!!! We all walked the Freedom Trail in Boston seeing historical sites and eating cannolis ( a must do) at Mike's Bakery. Totally something I wouldn't usually do before running a marathon. To die for. Seriously yummy and extremely filling.

OH, a BOSTON Cannoli! I am so jealous!

Glad you are having a good time and I am glad for the heat wave just for you because now you can relax about it, right? ENJOY the run! It is really the only way to run Boston!

Kelli, it is as if mother nature really does have a sense of humor as you look at the rising temp forecast over the past few days and like a bright beacon on marathon day-- 88 degrees and very humid. Out of nowhere and then the next day temps drop again. I am planning on just that-- having a blast. The warning was pretty blunt-- cautioning all runners to slow down. You don't hear that everyday (at a race). Off to walk around the island. : D

Good luck tomorrow! Stay positive, run smart, and be strong! Hope I see you on the course.
