The mighty Boston Marathon was Monday the 17th and I haven't had a chance to write about it. There are a few things that disturb me about marathons, for example, they are 26.2 freaking miles long. However, Boston disturbs me for the following reasons:
--It starts at NOON, Eastern.
--Its always on a Monday.
--The weather in Boston in April is truly unpredictable.
--There's a hill toward the end called HEARTBREAK HILL!!!
These are more or less nuances than anything else...but for the King of Marathons they are 4 more things that I would not want to think about while running it. Qualifying is still on my goal list so when I get there maybe all of the hype will help me downplay these type of things.
As for the race this year...I think it was fairly nice, maybe a headwind here or there. The weather looked good and those top finishers are damn fast.

Now I have to get going...we have a fast track work out scheduled in an hour and I could use a nap beforehand.
