Boston Marathon!!
Are you watching the Boston Marathon online this morning!? It's my favorite day and I'm totally glued to my computer. I love the online tracking of athletes. Watching every step of my friends' races this morning is awesome. Are you watching? Tracking? Receiving text updates?? LOVE this race!!

I love today too! I felt bad for them running in the heat, but they are running the race I dream of! We will beverage someday, Cherl! Hopefully at the same one. I had fun tracking my friends that are running it. What an amazing event! So inspiring!
I tracked 8 friends and those who ran well finished, on average, 30 minutes slower than their usual marathon finish times.
One woman ran CIM with us in December with a 3:50 finish. At Boston yesterday, she squeezed in just under 5 hours.
Our "running coach" trained for a 3:35 Boston. Haven't heard yet what happened to him, but there must have been an injury late in the race. Pace was slower all along but then dropped to a crawl in the last 15K. A 6:20 finish for him yesterday. Ouch.
Every year I watch and wish wish wish I were there, but not this year. The conditions were brutal.
