Finally got a chance to enter a short report as we have had a travel day to NYC today. and will report more later. I had and amazing time runing the Boston Marathon and the time we had with our friends.  I feel I ran a smart race and stuck to a game plan to finish under a 3:30.  I had a great time with the FRB masters team Jeff, Rob, Steve, and Walter as we got some great photos together and all.    This is what I do know for now is

3:29:05

started 8168 and finished 2943 overall

297 in age group

11/86 of all Idaho runners

This was a very hot race but I had an amazing time running it with my wife as she did an awesome job and I am so proud of her.

Will report more later.

AM   First run in 6 day as we were so busy in NYC and could not find the time to get a run in but it was a nice recovery week after Boston.  JHB to Sunnyside loop,I can't believe how well I felt, quads were just alittle tight at the start but worked out after a mile or so.

AM   32* and a little breeze at 5:30 this morning but warmed up nicely. It was nice to see a great sunrise and all the runners out this morning, Felt real good as I had a gel at the start and at mile 9 annd held up great until mile 18 and slowed some over the last 2 miles. Happy with the pace and energy level, I just needed one more gel.
