I will report tonight when I get home.
OK I finally have some time to get my race report done. Woke up at 2am and made it to the bus pick up by 3am, while waiting for the bus I had meet a runner from Atlanta named Robert and had some great conversation with him and talked alot about running Boston as he ran it in 2011. Got to the start and was very happy to catch up and talk to alot of friends It was great to catch up with Steve and Rob up there and to just hang out and have a good time, also was finally able to meet Allie as she is an amazing person and runner, meet James and Sasha also.
Got to the start line and was very surprised to see my friend McKay was running this marathon and was very happy to see he is back at it again. The race started and was heading down the hill, the first 2 miles felt Ok but was trying to hold back some and not get to carried away, by mile 3 I felt my legs getting heavy and didn't surprise me as I my tape sucked for this race. got to mile 6 and started up the 1.5 mile hill and was just was taking it easy and not push to hard, got to the top and was heading back down and had some good conversation with a few runners as they were trying for a BQ
At mile 10 and the legs still felt heavy but was not getting any worse and just kept running at a comfortable 7 min mile. At this point I caught up to a group of 8 or 9 runners as we all just held the same pace to the bottom of the hill by the zoo. At this point I backed off the pace and just ran conservative through the residential area. Got to mile 20 and the group that I have been running with atarted to brake up as a few started to pull ahead of me and some faded back and I decided to try and keep up with the two guys in front and got to mile 21 and I was sure that I was not able to keep this pace as my leg are on fire, Made it to the finish line and was very happy with my time as I was 9 min faster then last year and 56 OA and 4 in my AG.
