I figured I should post a blog on what is coming up for me. Well I am off to Boston to run the Boston marathon. This will be my 3rd marathon and my first Boston marathon I have ever done and I am very excited.  My last race which qualified me for this race was the New York Marathon this past November. That was another great race. 

My training has been going great. No injuries or any big set backs other then the crappy weather we had all winter. I feel ready but even if I didn't it is too late to do anything about it.  There is a big group from Peterborough that is going down to this race so having friends around will certainly make it an enjoyable race. Having all these friends down does create some competition which has made me think on what time I want to target for. I know this is not the way to go about it. I should be training the pace that I want to be running the race at but I think I can run 10-15 sec per km faster than what I should be doing. I believe I can go under 3hours but is that enough or do I want to go faster. I am the type of athlete that I am always wanting to push myself to my limits and not to just run an average race.  So I haven't made up my mind if I want to try 2:57 over even better. I think this is going to be race day decision. With this thinking might cause me to blow up on the run and I might resort to walking a part of it. I think if I leave nothing let on the course I will be happy anyway.

The past week the local paper came out and did a story on the group that is heading down to Boston.

That is my daughter in the picture with me. I didn't think they want to have her in the picture so I didn't bring my baby jogger and instead I have this not so good stroller.
