Notes

Boston Marathon - too hot for this, 70's to upper 80's.

Considering the conditions I started at a pace for 3:45; by 5k I realized that would not work.

Progressively slowed by taking more time at water stops and then walking some between stops and then walking when I was too hot. Each mile took longer and was more uncomfortable for me. Stopped to talk with family and friends at mile 22. Managed to run without walking from the end of Boyleston the last whatever that is (half mile?) at about 9 minute pace.

Still very glad to have done the Boston Marathon. Awesome support from race workers and unoffical volunteers!
