Easter Rabbits

Easter weekend, and the jackrabbits got out there for our last "long" run before next week's Boston Marathon. We took to the wild roads of Westford for the final 10 miler, and had a healthy showing of E Streeters turn out for the occasion.

All that remains now for Barry, Tommy, Ryan, and I is a week of rest, decent nights' sleep, eating healthy, and staying focused. And all of that goes out the window when we wake up to 80 degree temperatures on Monday and realize we have 26.2 miles in front of us!
