All I know is that the wind situation better not be anything like it was for last year’s NYCM. Damn near killed me! lol

She checked what the wind forecast is for Boston Marathon and was thrilled with the SW7 mph forecast. I guess east winds kill you in Boston and the wind is more important than temp. Guess you know that too!!

So, actually, it’s a 4-bottle pack! Todd got it for me for my birthday because I do nothing but whine and complain that I’m thirsty on long runs, and I was forever running out of water, haha. So there are two bottles in front, and two in the back. I’m pretty sure it’s for trail running, actually, but once you get it situated exactly where you need it so it doesn’t bounce, I don’t even really notice that it’s there! And I very rarely run out of water now. :)

Thanks, Amanda! I am looking forward to some much-needed relaxation at beach that weekend…well, after running the 13.1 miles, I mean. ;)

Definitely won’t be able to use that trick, seeing as how Todd and I are almost exactly the same height, LOL. Thank you!!! :)

SOOOO frustrating!

But I love your philosophy on hills. I need to adopt a little of that attitude, myself, and stop being such a big fat baby and avoiding them like the plague, lol.

Also, I don’t know why I never thought to swing my water pack around to the front like that. It seems so much more convenient. Do you run with it like that the whole time?

You are sure to do awesome in both of your upcoming Jersey races!! And nothing beats a trip to the beach! ;)
