One Week To Boston

One week and counting! I'm excited and confident I can do Boston regardless of my nagging calf strain. I did a 7.5 and a 6 km run on the weekend and felt ok, so am confident my leg is getting better and I'll make it through Boston -- hopefully well ahead of Katie Holmes!

We fly to Boston on Thursday and are staying at the Continental Hotel. It is brand new, very nice, and about 2 km from the finish line. On Friday I'll get my number and race package, and on Saturday I hope to take a bus tour of the course. Sunday will be full rest and relaxation, perhaps even a facial, and Monday is show time. The longterm weather forecast looks promising, with weather in the 50s or so.

Bouvier will be staying home, he's not a fan of flying. The one time Bouvier did fly, which was coming out to Vancouver, the plane had an aborted take off in Toronto so I think it was a rather traumatic experience for the little Bouvier. He'll be well cared for at home at 6 Cedars - pictured here:
