Run Of A Lifetime

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all of your kind words and comments over the past few days. I'll give a full report about Boston when we get back, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I set a new World Record today ... well, okay I didn't but Kenyan Geoffry Mutai did at 2:03:02!!!!

But I did get a new PR ... 3:20:35!!! But the PR had nothing to do with why the day was so amazing ... I can't begin to explain what an incredible experience it was! More later ... But again thank you for all your support! I thought about it a lot during the run!
... be great today!

    Awesome!!!! It seemed like you were ready to set a PR, your runs have all been going awesome recently. Glad that it paid off to the fullest. I bet the whole experience was amazing!

    And even if that 2:03 marathon time doesn't count due to the downhill course and the tailwine, that is insane. 4:41 miles 26 times? Ridiculous.
