Pre-New Bedford rest day

Courtesy of a DFMC teammate

Today is a pretty dreary day in Boston with overcast drizzly skies and a balmy 1degC/33degF. My plan was to do a short (6.4k/4m) run this morning with the TMRICE crew but my leg felt a little sore, so I figured I would rest up for the race tomorrow instead. Rain is my least favourite running condition, way worse than cold or snow, so it was an easy decision to rest up.

In other news, I finally managed to finish shoveling out our sidewalk at our corner, and I realize I should have taken photos so you all could understand what a feat that truly was. We have over 400 linear feet of side walk to shovel at our condo building and the other owners are about as helpful as a manatee. The city had plowed the snow off the street directly onto our sidewalk leaving piles as high as 12 feet in some places. Hopefully now I can put away the shovel for at least 9 months :-)

I owe a lot of thank yous to people who donated lately:
Richard Roskies and Jessica Wertman
Sung Hee Choi
Tejas Inamdar
Michael Katz
Todd Stupell
Michael Bourkas

Thank you so much for supporting me, the cause and my research. Post-marathon expect something, sometime, somewhere :D

Apparently I have been going about this blog thing the wrong way, as yesterday's blog was clearly good click bait with numerous views. I don't know if anyone read it or just looked at the photo laughed and/or puked but it showed me that I need to make it less boring. But how can I do that without just going off the rails? Perhaps George and Kramer can shed some light?



So I promised with 5 weeks left, I will come up with tasteful (at least to me - Shirley won't even look at yesterday's blog post) but amusing posts here on in. Obviously, this excludes the post that will finally discuss a runner's marathon day arch nemesis, the gastrointestinal tract.

And to end today's post, something that every male runner does/experiences when he is running.
Something for the ladies in the next post!



Enjoy your Saturday!
