With the Boston Marathon completed in 3 hours and 53+ minutes, I am pleased to feel like I might actually run the second marathon even faster! (OK, thruth be told, my feet are still tender from blister/calluses and my quads feel like they've been beaten with a hammer, but hey, I've got a whopping 11 days for that to fade!).
In fact, I was thrilled to see that with my time, I actually placed ahead of running legend Bill Rodgers (who, BTW, is 61 years old...I should be so lucky to finish under 4 hrs by the time I'm 61!).
The weather was fabulous on Marathon Monday in Boston -- a bit windy (15 mph headwind!) but between my sub-4 hour finish, the Sox trouncing the Orioles for a 4-game sweep and the Bruins and Celtics playing like teams possessed, all-in-all a great way to start the week!
Thanks to my family and friends for donating so generously so far to this cause, and for those that came out on Monday to watch. Clearly, it puts a little more fuel in my tank knowing that you're all out there with me.
Will update this blog as I test these tender feet and sore legs ahead of Colorado!
