Hey!!!
Thanks for the good words. I knew I could count on you guys for support.
The run was simply amazing...so emotional...and the crowd was fantastic. The streets were lined with people for nearly the ENTIRE 26.2 miles. What a sight!
My time was good, but I was really hoping to finish closer to 4 hours. I was doing really well until the 1/2 marathon and then started to lose steam from there. I started out WAY too fast, I think I ran my first 7 miles at an 8:30 pace when my goal was a 9:30 throughout. The last 4-5 miles from BC to Boston were really tough, but I made it through!
I highly recommend this experience for anyone willing to do it. There's a good reason why Boston is THE marathon for runners. Truly unique.
