Nice article. All our local media outlets have focused strongly on the bombings (I'm watching the news right now and another story just ended). It's nice to live in a strong running community.
Nice article LTH!

Good stuff, LtH! Well, the article. Not so much the bombing. But you catch my drift. And I, too, like the wheels on our garbage containers.

Nice article
That was a really nice article Brad. I'm glad that you didn't "jog" the race and that you are ok.
Running is my mental-Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Don't call me Buttercup!
"I just can't jog" This should be your signature line
"I just can't jog"
This should be your signature line
Except that 4 hours for a marathon is NOT JOGGING! LOL
Glad you're ok, Brad, seriously.
Slow and steady wins the.... wait a second! I've been lied to!

I was expecting to read something about the pain cave, but given the circumstances of the day, I can understand why you may not have gone into it that deeply.

Nice article Brad. I am sure you are quite an inspiration to your students.
Several of our local running friends were interviewed by the local media and one, who lead the bus tour
group with many of our friends aboard and was about 6 blocks from the explosions, was interviewed by
the CBC.
Hubby ran in 2010 and was qualified for this year but we decided not to go in lieu of another trip. I can't
count the number of phone calls/texts and emails I rec'd saying "are you guys in Boston, are you OK"??
It's nice that people care.
For me, it was 3 hours running, 1+ hour limping.

That's a nice article, Brad!
Running is dumb.
Uffda
Nice article.
On a side note, I am not taking part in my company sponsored 5k event next month because I'm doing the HM the next day. I, too, will not be able to just jog the 5k. Which is why I'm not going to do it.

Nice article. I vote for wheels.
I have one neighbor who drives his truck down the driveway, with his left hand pushing the trash can (on wheels), then back again when he gets home from work.
His house is only about 80 feet from the curb.
You really are a star, Brad. I'm very glad that you enjoyed your Boston experience (at least while you were running) and I hope to meet you in 2014. Great last words you had about us enduring. Very well said.

Cool, thanks for sharing. I'm glad they referred to you as "professor" as opposed to "jogger" :P
