Off. Leg is creaky when I get out of bed, but feels better once I get moving. Headed to Indianapolis to watch the race in the morning. I plan to do a completely unscientific study of running form at the finish line.

Should be interesting. I've only ever seen perhaps one finish of a sub-2:20 guy (Jesse Davis at Carmel last April; he's running tomorrow), but I have "run into" some 1:06 half marathoners coming the opposite way in a race. I may ask Paul if he wants me to sweep the 2+ hour halfers out the way coming down Merridian onto New York.

Have fun in the morning. Really sorry to hear the leg is still an issue. This will hopefully not even be a blip on the radar in your Boston prep, but I know this was a target race too.

Say hi to the blog people for me.

Thanks, Joe. I'm getting there. I'll tell them.

Have fun Jason. I know you didn't plan on doing quite so much cheering tomorrow, but it should still be a good time. Have fun!

Thanks, Matt. If there weren't such great folks running, I'd be at home crying into my pint glass.

I'm glad I notched a 1:17 half in Philly. That was better than expected, but slightly slower than where I thought I'd be right now. I had plans for another 1-2 minute PR, but I'm going to run a big boy time before Boston in April! 75-minute barrier here we come !
