But, that's just me. <BR/><BR/>I tend to go with three goals that I'd be "happy" with to varying degrees. But, that just allows me to hedge my bets. When you run as slow as me, you have to really think about these things. <BR/><BR/>As if that Dick Beardsley picture couldn't get any more psycho... you added Godzilla. Yikes. Good luck on that hill. I'm not sure you have a chance.Eric Gervasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987479725567129785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-90952099245751176452008-03-31T20:05:00.000-04:002008-03-31T20:05:00.000-04:00I'm so impressed that you are even running in it! ...I'm so impressed that you are even running in it!

My orthopedic guy told me that if I couldn't stretch out my calf muscles more that he would have to surgically cut the connective tissue in the muscle to relieve the tension...I can give you my guy's number and he can arrange to meet you around mile 16.thebetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467934259162949253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-23071873718384475872008-03-31T16:01:00.000-04:002008-03-31T16:01:00.000-04:00Nitmos,Your time goals are great if you are hoping...Nitmos,<BR/><BR/>Your time goals are great if you are hoping to hang out with a bunch of 25 year old women for 3 hours or a bunch of 45-50 year old men. I hope that corrals #6 thru 11 don't trample you in the early miles.<BR/><BR/>Just load up on a bunch of rice krispy treats the evening before the race, remember that Boston is a "net" downhill course and every uphill has a longer downhill on the other side of it (visions of Fiddler on the Roof is racing thorough my mind).<BR/><BR/>If you wear the "Steers" gear and you run a 3:25, make sure you have "Steers Junior Varsity" printed under the logo.<BR/><BR/>For Pete's sake, you have a 3:15 in you, you haven't overtrained, run a smart first 16 miles, then run a fast remaining 10 miles. (100 points to me for giving Nitmos a stern look at reality when no one else will.) :-) <BR/><BR/>-tangeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-29120933936379092622008-03-31T15:13:00.000-04:002008-03-31T15:13:00.000-04:00I like to use vacillating on my long runs.

The hills are actually a nice change of pace for some people after descending for 17 miles. Having 2 million people cheer you on also helps.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281718504827873022noreply@blogger.com
