Perch's Profile "I don't know if running adds years to your life, but it definitely adds life to your years." - Jim Fixx "The secret is to make in your mind possible what was not possible before. The secret is to make easy what was difficult, instead to make difficult what really is easy." - Coach Renato Canova
I saw a pic on FB this morning of 2 people in my running club wearing Mickey and Minnie stuff. Being Maniacs themselves, they have to be the ones who spoke to you.
I mostly post on KR but lurk over here and was most curious to see how you'd do. I had knee surgery in March and am just getting back to running now, ( somewhat ). To run the Boston marathon so soon and do it in the time you did, is awesome. Glad you suffered no pain. It gives me hope! Congratulations!
Perch
Your recovery was remarkable in my book.
Nice race, glad you got to enjoy it. You definetly earned your spot.

I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.

Hi Perch,
Mickey and Minnie Maniac - who knew?? It's great that you ran the entire race and finished tired, but pain-free. It was a fantastic job so soon after your surgery. Congratulations!!

It was great to finally meet you Steve. The smile in your Avatar is really indicative of your personality - always smiling and happy. You ran another smart race and we are not surprised one bit. You are a talented and smart runner who knows when to go for it and when to just enjoy the day.
Heal up and you will nail your next Boston!

Maybe you didn't achieve your best time in the race, but I hope it was a best time experience in Boston!

Steve. you are one smart runner whom many admire and look up to. I am happy you finished the Boston Marathon, and lived to run another day. Your comeback has been amazing with all the ups and downs, but when it was all said and done.............you ran about the only race you could given your injury......WTG Steve. Better and faster times will be here before you know it, because of how smart and determined you are.
