3:59:59? not so much

forcast for tomorrow? 87 degrees. 87. In Boston. In April. the BAA actually offered deferrals. Meaning if I want, I can just skip it this year and do it next year instead. Thanks but no. I didn't train for this, fly out here, etc. to turn back now. I'm disappointed, sure. But I don't need to be stupid either. I'd like to remember Boston, not die there. Yesterday, we drove part of the course, including the infamous Heartbreak Hill. My heart was beating crazy fast, and I felt a little bit like I might throw up. Next was the expo...where incidentally Dean Karnazes bumped into me. He's about 5'3" by the way. Anyway, more anxiety. After several hours volunteering though I was calm. Today was super fun! I got to visit Baypath Humane Society, the group for which I am running. I badly wanted to bring home a dog! Most of the afternoon has been spent not thinking about tomorrow. Watching hockey, drinking water, and relaxing. Thhe fun begins in about 14 hours.
