Notes
COMMENTS: I really enjoyed this one. After seeing the weather report, I decided to bag the sub-3:10 attempt and just enjoy the race. The weather turned out to be real nice... only rained for the 1st 2 miles, and then it was high 40s the rest of the way. The wind didn't really bother me much. I tried to high five as many kids as I could during the first 10 miles. I hit a bad patch between miles 10-14, but the Wellesley scream tunnel really got me through that. For some reason, I got my second wind heading into the Newton Hills around mile 16 and that pulled me in the rest of the way. I even grabbed a beer from a BC student, but pretended to chug it (I wasn't brave enough to actually drink it!) I saw friends at every mile from then on and really tried to soak in the experience going down Boylston St. I probably could have run faster, but as this was the 1st marathon I've done where I didn't have a time goal, it was much more fun running it this way.
