I guess it's really part of the ritual, this watching and waiting to see what the weather will be. At this point, it could still turn out to be almost anything, but at least this gives me something to focus my mind on.

Other than my hamstring anyway. That problem hasn't disappeared, though it does seem to be improving. I'm actually sitting on a bag of frozen mixed vegetables as I type, having just run 8 relatively pain free miles at an excruciatingly slow pace. It's ungodly beautiful out today, so despite my still lingering cold, it was just really nice to be outside, whatever pace I was running. My big fear is that everything is going to feel all healed up and then 20 miles into a fantastic PR setting race, the back of my leg is going to explode in pain and I'm going to have to face a terrible decision. That's the worst case scenario, but I really, really hope that's not going to happen.

Okey doke, I better go get my act together here. Adeel is in town with his pal Riyaad and I've promised to show them around the news studios before they head up to Boston.

Man, that Adeel...he sure gets around...

Chad:

Chelle,

Congrats on all the recent PRs - nice to see you running so well again. Good luck with that hamstring and your marathon.

Jennifer:

Chelle- I'm glad you had a good time with Adeel and Riyaad. No, I'm not fast enough to run Boston yet. I just fake it well. :)
