Week of April 18th-24th

1. Monday: 9mi / 57min in Burlingame w/Griffin. Nice run. Had to follow the Boston Marathon by reading updates on letshate.com. Talk about frustrating! I can't believe I couldn't get it online or on tv, it's the biggest race in the world!! Very annoying to read what all the morons had to say about Hall, Desiree, and others. "No guts, didn't want it enough, poor strategy, blah, blah, blah." Great job everyone!

Those Keene Staters really push the recovery. Who do they think they are, Bob Wiles? It was tough. Calves started cramping on the last 400 so I bailed at 300m.
