Let me just say this....the race sucked! Any sane person with half a brain would have stayed home and had an enjoyable day....not me. Started out wanting to let it all go for this race, I love the top 10.5 miles. Great downhill run.....I went out 6:36/ 6:34/ 6:42/ 6:52/ 6:55/ 7:13/ 7:32/ 7:51/ 7:50/ 8:03/ 7:56 This brought me to I-15 My neuromas started acting up and I knew it was going to be a hard day, but worse than that the winds were blowing steady 30-50 mph in your face. This lasted all the way to the finish. I have never wanted to quit something more but couldn't. Had someone driven by that I knew, I would have gladly and without shame got in. I ended up taking my shoes off 5 times to massage my feet to take some pain away. I got to the point that I really didn't care about time at all, I wanted to be done.....so I kept moving. I am totally ashamed of my 4:15 time. Last year I ran a 3:28 Well time to enjoy some winter training and get this ugly race out of my mind......Boston, you better be a fun, enjoyable experience!
