Notes
Lisa and I were cruising until around mile 21 when she rolled her ankle. I really wanted her to qualify so we alternated walking and running to get there there officially at 3:39:03. My watch said 3:39:05.

I felt really good for the first 20ish miles and then my legs started to crap out. I don't think the walking helped me much towards the end. The race became quite a psychological battle towards then end, even before Lisa rolled her ankle. In the beginning the miles just dropped away but towards the end the mile markers seemed like they would never show up.
I think I could have probably finished with a PR but I know there is no way I would have qualified to Boston today.
