What an exciting Boston Marathon today!!! I was tracking about 11 local people plus Karen. Loved watching Meb win!!!
Lisa - You are probably on your way to Chicago already. Hope it is a good trip.
Judy - Glad you were able to catch up with your running buddy and got out on the trail!
Camille - You are doing good with your running!
Ginny - Glad to hear your running is coming along, you sound so happy with it!
Sugarland - Hope your restful week-end kept the recurring bronchitis away!
Cindy - Nice job on the 5k! Your boys looked so handsome for Easter!
Marjorie - Enjoy your cutback week, and your "back to normal" household.
Crazysue - Uh oh on the missing bra strap and white sock. Glad you had a nice date night!

That was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. I think the heat and running a lot less miles did me in. I thought I was starting out slow enough, but no, I still slowed quite a bit instead of being able to pick it up a the end. But I wouldn't change a thing. Nearly cried a few times on the course (when the crowd told us Meb won, when I passed the Hoyts, after seeing DH and my parents around mile 24) and I did cry after the finish. In between the times I thought I was going to cry I was incredibly overjoyed.
Thank you guys for tracking me. I thought about you, especially when I was struggling, and it really helped.
Tessa, congrats to RN!! Most people I know ran slower than they hoped because of the weather. My dad did check and although I missed requalifying by a couple minutes, I did at least finish higher than my bib number.
More later, I'm kinda exhausted.

Quick check-in to say congrats to Karen! What a great day! Even thousands of miles away, I felt a little emotional seeing everyone's race reports, photos, posts and tweets. Way to go!
