Off the bat I can run 13 miles now no prob, and I can start doing my four 20+ mile training runs next month once I start ramping up the mileage. Provided I don't get sick...again.
Boston is definitely the most fun one could have running 26.2 miles although those hills in Newton are  . Plus, figure it being in April it won't interfer with any fishing plans.

Ben, if you are running in Newton, I will stop by and feed you the grubs to energize yourself. I only ran two or one mile four years ago and stopped now. Maybe you should pump irons and run to increase ur lung capacity. Include the aerobic and yoga. Flexibility is essential. I don't run well anymore due to the hip and ligament injuries I got from martial arts (I split like Van Dam).
