Americans Ryan Hall and Kara Goucher fared well in yesterday's Boston Marathon, finishing 3rd in both the men's and women's races. The women's race had a photo finish, with a Kenyan beating an Ethiopian by one second. Goucher finished nine seconds back. Friend Chuck Hargrove finished in 4:07:49. Good work, Chuck!
I ran 5.5 miles this morning. It was so early, the birds were silent. The sun started to rise as I finished at 5 a.m., and the birds got to work. I needed to sleep three nights to get healed up from Saturday's long run. I was still sore, but it wasn't too bad. I am happy where I am in training.
I won't run as much this week. Maybe four times with a long run of 10-12 miles. Next week, we'll get back at it ... I'm following the Hal Higdon Intermediate model with some adjustments for time.

Jim, many thanks to you. I ran second half of race enjoying crowds, scenery and excitement. Time mattered not to me, only finishing the famous race.
