My first Boston marathon is in the books.
The short of it:
Nice conditions.
Dead legs.

Sore legs.
3:33:55
Full race report coming soon.

“…Go!” (Something like that.)
The run started on a road for a very short distance before we connected onto the trail. Of course the race started with an uphill grade.

As mentioned in my previous post, the Cross Timbers 26 mile trail race was quite a day and it all started at 4:15 am on Saturday as I slowly crawled out of bed to get ready for my first race start of the season. I had laid out most of my clothes and nutrition needs [...]

My first race of the season (President’s 5k) was going to be this morning but life happened instead. My son little-G (10 1/2 months old) started vomiting Friday afternoon and it continued on a few times throughout the night.
The race was going to be a family affair as my wife was going to run the [...]
