Words cannot express the myriad of emotion that I feel about what happened today at the Boston Marathon...shock...outrage...sadness...gratefulness for all those who helped victims...

Forgot to log this. Don't really remember what my pace was. It was on the treadmill.

I think God might have commissioned someone around here to build an ark. I haven't seen any animals yet, but I've seen plenty of flooding.

Four treadmill miles very late in the evening. This has been an exhausting week for no evident reason.

I am glad this run felt great after a blah sort of week. My legs felt heavy during every run this week. Not sure if it was because I had to do more treadmill runs than I had been doing the past few weeks.

I started to feel pretty good after 4 miles. Then I pushed the pace for 4 miles. Paces were 8:30, 8:00, 7:50, 8:08. The last fast mile was a bonus. I had originally intended to slow down, but when I was feeling like I slowed, I looked down at my watch and I was still in the low 8's, so I continued to push. The wind was against me in that last mile, and in the two cool down miles.

I am running my half next week. I hope the temp is the same as it was for this run. Probably in the 40s, but sunny. I think I could have been okay in shorts, though pants were okay today. However, I would like to request less wind. My cheeks are burning right now.

Lots of flooding in my hometown. My sister in law sent me a pic of her view of First Avenue from the train. It was underwater. I might post the pic later. First Avenue is a heavily trafficked road that runs near the Brookfield Zoo, which also closed for only the 3rd time in 90 some years.
