I ran the Boston Marathon course this morning. It was quite the experience. Up at 5:15, ran 1.5 miles to the train station, took the train and bus to Hopkinton, arriving just after 7:00 AM. Used the bathroom, took some photos, then the fun began. I couldn't take too long as I had to check out of my hotel and get to the airport. However I did stop for photos now and again. Got a little tired around mile 22 but I was rejuvenated at mile 25 to know I was so close. Bummer that my Garmin died at mile 13-14 and my cell phone battery died literally at the finish line. Lame. Oh well. It was amazing and I finally have a desire to race Boston. Next year?
