This yrs baystate was a cold one for sure. I think I have finally warmed up. Took me a day.
Arthur Ashe once said that “Success is a journey, not a destination. Running 114th Boston Marathon “All marathon runners are dreamers; we are not practical. The hours we spend every day, every year! The strength we expend over long lonesome roads and the pot of gold we aspire to receive for it all! The end of the rainbow, is a survivor’s medal.” Bertha Kelley, mother of Johnny “The Elder” Kelley

Yes he did! Congrats to Fil!

 

He's been working his butt off to get to this point. He must have felt like he was running down hill at Baystate after training around his neighborhood in Hudson, NH. I had never seen so many steep hills within a 5 mile radius as I did when Fil took me out on one of his Hudson training runs.

Typical runner, glutton for punishment.  

 

 

 

 

Check out Fil's result, unless I am greatly mistaken our friend punched a ticket to Hopkinton in his marathon debut! (Why the hell don't they have the designation for BQ on the results?  All the qualifier races put an asterisk or pound sign next to qualifying times)

Good work, Trent. It was nice chatting for a few of those miles to help tick them off. In all a great run today despite the $#!++y weather. Damn were my hands cold at the finish.

 

It was also cool to see all the other good timesers in the crowd. Including EJ and George along the route. Thanks for volunteering.

 

Six months till April.......

 Ya it was good talking to you too.  I thought you were going to catch up with me on the bridge.
