Needham

I rode my bike to work today. I still cannot run much. So I walked around Needham today.

Recovery

I did not have a good night sleep. I was very tired but my legs were burnnig and they were pretty sore this morning. My arms are sore from carrying the flag as well. So I just carried the flag and walked around Central Square tonight.

The Marathon Day!

We finally did it! Today we carried the Flag and ran the entire Boston Marathon and showed the flag to everyone!

Here is a detailed account. First, allow me to apologize for my grammar mistakes. I make a lot mistakes when I am really tired and I am really tired now. However, I am very excited. So I will write the detailed account in random order and attempt to fix things later.

Rainy Day

Today is the day before the Boston Marathon. Like the weather report predicted, it is raining really hard outside. Fortunately we don't get snow tomorrow and it looks like we will get less rain and less wind when the Marathon started. Unfortunately, it looks like we are going to get wet no matter what. I went out for a short run just to losen up my legs and get a taste of the weather tomorrow. (very strong wind today.) I also used my GPS to pace myself so I will know exactly how fast I should be running. (9 min per mile to start and then fall to 10 mins per mile later.)

 

Boston Charles River 5 Miles

I did an easy 5 mile run alog the Charles River today. The weather was quite nice. It is hard to imagine that it is possible we will get snow on Monday.
