Arrived having walked down hopkington exit that was blocked off by police. He let me by. It was a 1.5 mile walk. Used bathrooms by corral that were for elite by cvs. Found some pins to put bib on. Also as I got to my corral a volunteer handed out sunscreen. We were herded like sheep. I spent less than ten min at the starting line area. First 5.8 my hamstring was happy. Then I nearly had to walk off the course. Limping and in terrible pain. I walked up to Troy and amber at mile 6 telling them I was so worried I may not finish and to tell my cousins that. Before that I had drifted easily to 7:40 pace. Now I was walking five min. Last part mile six. First part mile 7. Then I just tried my best to start running again. At before mile 9 I stopped at a bathroom. A minute lost here. But I only was concerned about finishing. By mile 17 my quads started to hurt from doing all the work. I got water and Gatorade at every mile they had it. Which was every one ! After mile 2. I think The whole race is a blur of overcoming pain in my hamstring area to get to finish No time to enjoy it I was panicked by the pain my avg heart rate was 174 !! And I was jogging It was hot but I didn't even care. One foot in front of the other I ran 26.47 miles because I ran on left side of street the whole way Here are spots including my 0.47 - 8:32/8:25/8:24/8:14/8:24/9:49/10:16/9:30/10:12/9:25/9:17/9:02/9:12/8:54/9:07/9:01/9:23/9:28/9:09/9:09/9:57/9:17/9:10/9:15/9:23/9:28/8:58 for 0.47

Ouch! Sounds painful. But for all that pain and walking not such a horrible time. I was in Framingham to see my son go by and then went down to the Citgo sign to see him again. I was wearing a black windbreaker and felt hot when in the sun while standing around.

Anyway, congrats on the finish!
