Boston Marathon

[MCAP]

My sister is running Boston today too! I'm tracking her online and she's doing great. I just wish I could be there. I don't think much work will get done around here for a couple of hours...

YIPPIE! Sending really great running thoughts right now!

My friend - and his friend whom I almost feel like I know from FB - both ran great.

And a big new men's world record! Wow.

I'm well aware that between my crash, family issues, etc., etc., I'd never have been able to train, so not signing up was just as well. But there's a part of me that really wishes I was there.

I ran it as well. It was my first marathon and it was harder than I had expected. I ran as part of Team In Training for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The first half was great and I was keeping on pace, although looking back I think my pace was a little faster than it should have been. I started slowing down around mile 16, powered thru the hills, miles 22-25 where a shuffle then picked it up when I saw "one mile to go". Finish in 4:21.15, it was a great experience. I am walking quite slowly today but will probably do it again.

Wonderful job, Sharon! Congrats on your first marathon. It's so impressive to me, an on again, off again runner.
