Boston 2016

Negative splits! My #24595 and overall I was 18029 with a pace of 9:23.
I went by a lot of people the last 9 miles and I felt great at the finish.

Excited About Running Boston

After 2 sessions of massage bodywork and 3 sessions of acupuncture bodywork I am feeling much better. I have been running well 3 of the past 4 days and I'm excited about Boston. Not sure what shoes to wear yet.

Boston Taper

Well I didn't plan to take 4 days off but left foot not feeling it right now. Today driving the bus I discovered that the Hoka Bondi 4 is not a good shoe for me even to walk in or drive the bus. My left foot was killing me so I took the shoe off and pain eased. I was able to run 9.4 miles after work and felt fine in the Hoka Vanquish 2. Icing foot and I now feel I will be ready for Boston. This will be the eleventh in a row and I have already qualified for 2017.
The trail run did not help Boston and I will think about running a road marathon 4 weeks before next years Boston.
Ball of foot still hurts but I will run in the Conquest 2 to try to fix it in the next 10 days.
