Personal:

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. After the birth of my son in 2001 my fitness declined to a pathetic level. I have been running regularly since 2002. I currently run about 35 - 40 miles a week.

This was one cold, wet experience.  I never really got comfortable.  I stopped a number of times along the way, but it's all good.  I enjoyed myself and other than the cold.  I didn't really over exert myself on this one.  I wanted to start further back in the corrals than where they put me.  I knew it was a bad idea to start so close to the front, and that I would go out faster than I needed to.  That's exactly what happened though.  I ran 6:55s the first two miles then had to stop for a bathroom break and to adjust my clothing.  I was pretty much cold the entire race.  I jogged the rest of the way in, walked through all the aid stations.  Other than getting passed by thousands of people, the fans and the scene was pretty motivating.  There are no words to describe, turning onto Boylston and the last 1000 yards before the finish.

Congradulations - what an experience.

I have some words. "Why does that finish line keep moving?"
