Twenty-five days and counting! :-0

It’s Thursday, March 22nd and as of 10:30ish a.m. today, there are exactly 25 days left until I “toe the line” (well, more like get herded like on of the 10,000 foot-shuffling masses across the modest start-line) in Hopkinton, MA. I will be in the "2nd wave" of 10,000 -- the 1st wave leaves at 10 a.m. this year, rather than noon. Another slight change in format from last year.

It's getting perilously close to 'go' time -- one last charity team 'practice' run this Saturday (21-miler from the start line in Hopkinton to the top of "Heartbreak Hill" in Brookline).

The few times I've run the hills in Newton this year have been much smoother than last year; but, working only a couple of miles from the 3-tiered “hill” makes it much more manageable as “miles #2-4” as opposed to “miles #19-21” of the run.

Today I will aim for a modest 8 miler, tackling some, but not all, of Heartbreak.

Have a great day! Paul
