Seven Deadly Shins

    Yeah, Boston Globe says it was miserable later on:

    Not that bad for my race, but probably for those in the later waves.

      Thanks L-Train for coming out!

       

      I thought my friend dropped (2:49 guy), but just checked and he's still going! Made it to 35 in 3:03 ... another 2:05 to get to 40

        Just finished in 5:37:30! He really earned that medal.

              Congratulations to all who finished the race today.

               

              It's interesting seeing the difference in the two cameras.  At Heartbreak Hill, most of the people are walking now.  Earlier there was a lot more energy.  But at the finish line, everyone has been making an attempt to run across the finish line, though a lot of them stop fast and have a hard time walking once they make it across.  Fun to imagine me doing the same thing in Boston some day.

                Holy cow! What happened to him?

                 

                He's recovering from an injury. Today was his 4th run in the last 2 weeks!

                              Congratulations to everyone who ran!  I couldn't follow anything, trying now to see the weather, Meb, and all the other stuff you have been talking about all day.  Sounds like it was an excellent/exhilarating/difficult/miserable/awesome day.
