The Boston Bib Numbers were posted today. My bib is number 24956. I am in wave 4 coral 1 which has a 11:15 start time. I have never started a marathon that late in the morning. I have never started a race that late in the morning. I will do my last long runs starting at 11:15 and experiment with what time to eat. The cut off time for wave 4 was a qualifying time of 3:56:54. There are 8 corals and I am in the first one. I hope I finish the race before it gets dark. My bib color is yellow. Boston is only 4 weeks from today.
This morning we got up early then did a quick 20 minute work out in Golds Gym (our basement). Then we showered and went to visit Jim's parents. This is 2 hours in the car each way. After we got home we went to Sherman Beach and ran an easy run. I did run/walk for 5.25 miles. My splits were: 10:33, 9:51, 9:43, 9:00, 9:03 with an overall average of 9:40. This is fast for me for a run/walk. Jim stayed with me for 3.5 miles then slowed down. He averaged under 10 minute miles which is great considering he hasn't run in a long time and he isn't really a runner.
