After last week's muscle strain I had decided to take this week slower and a bit easier, focusing on cross training activities. I hadn't been to the gym in a while so it was nice to put my membership fees to work again, but it also reminded me why I prefer to run so much more! Inside on a static piece of equipment just is not that exciting. Anyway, the cross training coincided well with a bit of a cold, so it good week to rest up a bit. As a result my muscle strain/over use injury has definitely calmed down a bit and was feel pretty good today. I still plan to rest up tomorrow and then another slow training run this weekend, but a bit longer, say in the 13-16mi range.
I also received a nice little package today from DFMC upon returning home. I had heard about the DFMC shoelaces as a gift for hitting the $6000 fund raising mark and was lucky enough to hit that earlier this week! As always, thanks to everyone that has contributed directly or supported me in some way!
Given that I may only run marathons, especially Boston, a limited number of times, I sure chose a good time to run Boston for the first time. This year, 2 highly enjoyable things are being combined - the Boston Marathon and Sam Adams beer: "
Sam Adams Brewer Crafts Beer for the Granddaddy of All Marathons" Of course, there's also the apparel, which of course will need to be purchased. Luckily, this year's color is just what I was hoping for. Who really wants normal blues, depressing blacks, happy yellows, and Red Sox Red? No, we need something a bit more, hmm, energizing! This is the
Men's Official Jacket and the picture doesn't do it justice...it is traffic cone orange bright! At least I'll be safe running/walking at night, safety first of course! Throw the decent weather (thus far) into the mix and this has been a great year for Boston thus far!
