We have spent the last couple of days in Boston after our very pleasant flight. Picked up my race package yesterday and met with the Doug's, Shelley and Cathy. Today had lunch with Leonard and his running wife Charlene. Len told us about the athlete advisory for race day Monday, due to the high heat (31'C) only the fittest runners should attempt the race and even then they should be adjusting their goals.
I will play it by ear but for the time being I still plan on running the event and going out at a good pace early on in the race, but slow down once the heat climbs. No personal best here this year but I do plan on finishing... I figure if I can get close to the 25 or 30 KM point before noon and the really warm temperatures I should be able to slow down and enjoy those hills just ahead. We are still a few days out from the race and the weather forecast is likely to change but that is my plan for the time being.
