For completeness, above is last week's training. No running today either, by the way. I feel about as sore as I ever have after a marathon. I have no injuries, thankfully and the soft trail also seems to have saved my feet which usually hurt more. It's really just the typical weak quads and trouble walking down stairs (by which I mean holding onto the rail for dear life).
I've been looking for hotels for Boston and it's about as painful as the marathon! Everything near the finish is sold out or over $450. My wife found one by the airport, but this whole thing is sounding like less fun with the logistics. Fly up Sunday, stay by the airport, checkout, shuttle to the T, T to the race, bus to Hopkinton, race, get bag, T to airport station, shuttle to airport, and fly back. I guess I leave my wallet in baggage check at the race? Can I pack everything in a bag I can check. I feel sorry for whoever sits next to me. Frankly, I'm not sure it's worth doing. Everybody says I should, so I will, but I'd really be going just for the marathon and not to see Boston. Is it really worth the hassle?

Suck it up and know that Boston is ridiculously expensive. Flights were crazy costly that weekend too. And if weather sucks, well, its Boston, Baby. You made it, do it up and enjoy it. Everyone told me that and I trained to PR - big mistake. Go into Boston for the experience. I missed it and will go back when I am ready (not quite there yet).
But yeah, you will get a tinsy hotel for minumum $350 a night. But the experience does rock. Enjoy. You've earned it.
