My time wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but I finished! On Sunday (day before race day), I got to meet my patient partner, Kyle and his parents Kelly and Tim. We met for lunch close to the hotel. Kyle is a really cool kid, and he and Kelly got to cross the finish line with me on Monday.
It was a great weekend and such a cool event! My friend Dawn went with me, and took a bunch of pictures that she is going to post on her website http://www.dawndove.com/. We had a terrific time hanging out all weekend.
Race day was really hot! The BAA was encouraging runners to defer to 2013 because of the heat, but Chris and I decided we would go ahead and run. We decided to stay together for safety, and we took it slower than usual. The spectators in Boston were so great! One runner was quoted saying that it felt like a standing ovation for 26.2 miles.
I was so fortunate to be part of team Kyle and Tim, Miles for Miracles, and the Credit Union Kids at heart teams. It was a great weekend. For those of you that have been keeping up with my Blog - thank you for following along!
