AM - 13 miles. First 10 easy and then 3 miles in 15:22 to finish. Was over by Rob's house and started thinking about the e-mail he sent me saying he was running Boston if its 110 degrees next year and all of a sudden it was 5:09, 5:08, 5:04 on the way home. Net downhill and a favorable wind so it wasn't really all that fast. Enough to clear the head, though. 

PM - 6 miles + 8 x 8s hills

What happened in Boston yesterday sucks. I've devastated and disgusted. Just sad about it.

But there were also some fantastic running performances from folks on this blog. While in the grand scheme of life, race times aren't the most important thing, I hope that those who ran yesterday (and worked hard for months and months to prepare) can eventually find some satisfaction and happiness in what they accomplished. That doesn't get taken away because of some senseless idiot(s).

I hear you Jake. It was all I could think of while running this morning and I could feel my blood pressure rise. That eight year old boy just watching his dad run hits close to home.

Agreed Jake - it just makes me feel gutted - and disappointed in society in general - and particularly for those who were there to run and enjoy an innocent sporting event. They and we have all had something taken from us.

Completely agree Jake. I am still so lost for words about what happened. It is just tragic.

Great workout this morning. Aided or not the fact that it felt easy just proves how great of shape you are in right now.

Perfect way to put it, Jake.

Yes, just sad and tragic.
