Welcome

 So, in taper for Boston.  Last week was a bit off with the throwing up situation after the long run.  Missed one day, which cost me 7 miles of distance.  Long run on Sunday was slow the last 2 miles.  Not as much energy given having to run 4 days in a row due to the first 2 days of the week being off for recovery.   Switched gels away from Precision Hydration due to the over use during the 20 miler.  Switched back to Spring and Huma.  Still a bit off on the long run.  Believe it wasn't due to the gels though.  Focused on a gel every 3 miles and water every mile. Weight hovering around 139.  Low was 136.5 this weekend.  Will see if we can keep it under 140 leading into the race. Locked in on the following: Path Projects Shorts Tracksmith Singlet (BQ or Chi) Injinji mid-weight socks 5 Springs and 5 Humas Garmin 945 Julbo sunglasses Arm Warmers (Zensah) Gloves - Merino Vaporfly Next % 2 Naked Running Belt - 6 8 oz flask (will rely on more water at the stations) - upgrade if hotter to

Testing: Adidas Adios Adizero Pro 2 -  Not a bad shoe.  Have to try a longer distances. Puma Deviate Nitro Elite - Nice.  Feels like lower drop than 8mm.  Not sure I can take longer distances. Saucony Ride 15 - First run was pretty firm.  Likely won't try again till after Boston. In Rotation: Brooks Aurora-BL - Just purchased as an alternative to the Maxroad 5.  Transitions faster. New Balance RC Elite 2 - Nice, soft, long distance shoe. Soft enough to use for other runs. Nike Alphafly - Long run shoes.  Need to wear down.  Nike Vaporfly Next % 2 White/Pink - Training shoe now. Nike Vaporfly Next % Volt - Boston race shoe.  Salomon Sense Ride 2 - Like this over the Pegasus.  Firmer ride.  Better for trails. Saucony Endorphin Speed - Green. Current goto speed.  Almost retirement age. Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 - Blue. Starting in rotation. Saucony Endorphin Pro - Firmer than Vaporfly.  But not bad.  Probably won't take over 1/2 marathon.  Good for shorter races.  Will use as prim
