AM - just an easy 6 miles this morning before work.  First few miles were slow and a little fatigued - once I got warmed up though, I felt fine.

AM - good "reminder" session this morning.   2 x 2 miles at MP (6:45) with an 800 rest in between.  1.5 mile warm up and .5 cool down.  Everything felt fine -systems all checked-in functioning properly.  Now all we need is Sunday.

So - my flight overnight to London was diverted just as we were crossing the Atlantic and turned around for mechanical issues and we landed, in all places, Boston at 3:45 am.  Still in Boston now as they sort out the mechanical and crew issues.  (Emergency vehicles on the runway and thunderous touchdown aside, no apparent safety issues).  Appears I will now arrive in London at least 9 hours later than expected...

AM - got into the hotel last night around midnight - grabbed a bite to eat - slept 8 hours and headed out with the guys for an easy 3 miles through Hyde Park. Spectacular weather. Supposed to be the same tomorrow as well. Got the race packets - Sky News did a live interview with us to talk about Boston. Everything feels good - hoping for the same tomorrow.
