Sounds like you did almost exactly the same things that I did when I visited Boston in 2002 - Red Sox game, Harvard University, North End for italian food, etc. The Red Sox stadium is my favorite ballpark I've ever been to, it is so tiny. <br /><br />Sounds like the race went perfect - congrats on your PR! a 20 mph tailwind and 50 degrees literally sounds like perfect conditions. Great that you met EMZ too! I think she finished right behind you in 3:23 or something. <br /><br />My favorite picture you posted is probably of the Hopkington sign, just kind of proves that you made it. Enjoy the afterglow!Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-76272829111976918822011-04-22T11:34:36.698-05:002011-04-22T11:34:36.698-05:00Simply awesome!!
