So how did it go? Well, I had pretty low expectations. Training has been difficult with too much snow, rain and plain cold weather. So like most of my running friends, motivation ran pretty low of late. I was really only trying to set a modest pace, and to hope to hang on to it and run steadily. That worked: I didn’t walk a single water stop, and while my legs were getting really tired and sore I carried through to the end. Final time was 1:36:08.57 per my stop watch. That’s a tad faster than last year, a lot slower than 2007, just a tad slower than 2006, and quite a bit faster than 2005.
Next stop: my second Boston Marathon in five weeks and given the underwhelming training this winter, it will be a challenge.
