Boston–short version
By the dawn
I have several uncompleted drafts of our trip that will be finished and posted eventually, but I just wanted to give a quick update about the race…
Official time: 4:02.59
I cannot even begin to say how amazing the marathon was. My favorite marathon by far! Even when I knew that I wasn’t going to finish under 4, I was still so incredibly thrilled with everything about the race. I’d always thought that finishing over 4 would crush my spirit, but by that point I was just so excited with the joy of the run I barely noticed the time.
I am overwhelmingly grateful that I was able to experience the Boston Marathon.
Best. Race. EVER!
well, i’m sad that i didn’t get to meet you, but i was cheering at 26.1.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
I am so glad to read those words! I was concerned as I watched your time, because sometimes you DO over-analyze a bad episode. I am so proud of you, and I’m SO happy you’re enjoying the experience. For my part, I NEVER thought I would actually turn on a marathon on TV to watch, but you’re right, it actually WAS compelling, even if they didn’t show clips of my niece in between those of the leaders.
I DO think you need to run the San Diego marathon again….
I’m so glad you had a good race. By the time you get to run Boston, who cares about time?
