You know you're training for the Boston Marathon when...

The race is cancelled, but you run the course anyway. How and Why can a race called the Frostbite 15K be cancelled? To my advantage, I did not preregister so I didn't lose any money, but I received a sweet tshirt, new Power gels, a tons of marathon advice.

I also finally wore my hip new PUMA raincoat. Yes, Tim, you were right, the compliments on my slender wrists were overwhelming!

Look at the Snow!


The entire group of seven that I ran with were all training for Boston so I asked them all for advice. One member mentioned training on the last six miles so I'm familiar with it, because if you don't know where you are than it goes on forever.

Anyway, here are the details on the race and a few pictures of the course. How beautiful!! According to my iPod, we ran a few miles over the scheduled amount. Oh well, a long run is a long run, right?

Can you get a prettier picture?





Check out that average pace! 8:11 per mile! That's why I like a race!

I definitely learned how to run in the snow and my butt will feel awesome tomorrow. As I mentioned back around Christmas, Mr Miceli gave me a few boxes of Shot Blocs, but I learned today how much all those goos and blocs can help. I was nearly dead around mile 6. My legs killed, I had a cramp, and I just didn't feel good. Paul gave me some accelerade, a goo and I felt a million times better! I guess that's what training is for! I'm learning folks.
