Brr!  What a cold day, this is a sign of what is to come.  Funny I remember running by the bank last year with the display showing between 1 - 4 degrees.  This morning I thought it was chilly at 40 degrees.   I had a pretty good run.  I have got to buy new shoes today or I am going to be in trouble.  I love the new asics speedsters but they only last about 2 1/2 weeks.  The running store replaced the 1st pair when they were gone in two weeks but I don't think they will again.  I am uncertain what to buy now.  I am feeling pretty good about my recovery, almost back to normal.

I really like my Mizzuno Elixir 3s, they are light weight trainers.

I'm not doing Boston this year. You should contact bloggers MattK and Rhett, who are both going and have some good plans in the works.

I found the picture on the discussion forum and thought you would like it.

As far as cross training -- if you are after dropping your times I think there is no substitute for just running, which you are doing so well at. You handle the mileage which is impressive However, I think in the off season its is a good idea to supplement the body with some strength (I need it as much as anyone).
