I’m still planning on doing a Boston simulation run next weekend, on April 30. I can’t guarantee a 20 m.p.h. tailwind like the nice folks of Hopkinton did, though. Also, I doubt I’ll be able to finish in 2:03. But the course will be challenging. Here’s the elevation profile:

And here is the elevation profile for Boston:

You can see that my course is slightly more challenging, but I always like to work a little harder during the training.

Would you like to join me? Throw a donation up to my site. I’m raising funds for World Vision. They help care for AIDS victims in Africa (and other places around the world). They also help families find clean water and provide micro-loans as a means to combat extreme poverty world-wide.

Here are the details of the run. It starts at the corner of 142nd and 62nd Street in Holland. Here’s a map of the route.  In honor of the traditional Boston Marathon start time, I’d like to begin at noon. We will have some water bottles stashed throughout the run, but the Gu is b.y.o.

Let me know via the comment section if you plan to attend. I’ll make sure RunnerGirl bakes some special post-run treats.
