One more month

Yesterday was the first day of spring, and was very nice weather. For the Boston trainees, it was also the start of the final month of training. Today, however, is a different story: I was running in the snow again. After a day of spring, winter just doesn't want to give up. 

Today was also long run day again, 17 miles, like last week, but now a regular long run instead of running at marathon pace. Not much to tell about it: nice run, the snow was not staying, so it was not too much of  a nuisance. 

Yesterday, I ordered my shoes for the race, the new version of the shoes I am running on now (Asics Gel Kayano 14). The shoes have good reviews, although someone on the Runner's World forum didn't like them. It is a bit of a gamble to order shoes untried, but I am confident it will work out.
