I've run a lot of marathons and I've never cramped so hard as I did today. Not the course of conditions where that's very fun to have happen. The crowds were still awesome considering the conditions were terrible. Running through the wasted BC fratstars at the top of Heartbreak Hill is always hilarious.

I know this first hand. The last 6 miles or so kill me. I need to learn proper water / food / energy ( too much you can get nauseated, too little you get weak and nauseated) intake to survive this brutality.

This is what my buddy said last year. He said he had nothing left the last 6 miles. This year his time was much better, about 15 minutes.

security at the event was fricking stupid

we tried to go watch the finish and they had every street closed off except Mass Ave, so everyone had to bottleneck through one checkpoint

creating a giant target sounds like a great way to stop terrorists guys


wife and I said frick it and went get food at the Pru

Bump just to say thank you for all of you that wished me and the other runners well yesterday. Despite the rain and cold, it was an amazing experience that I can't wait to do again.

I came in at 4:20:16, which I am pleased with for my first marathon. I told myself to be happy with anything under 4:30, so I reached my goal.

To all of the other runners, hope you're healing well and walking a little better than I am today. Knees are sore as hell, but totally worth it. As one of the signs I saw along the route said, "Pain is temporary, pride is forever."

Huge congrats to you ... I had a friend there for I think his 2nd if not 3rd time to run it -- he finished in 3:28:something. CRAZY.

Hope you're recovering nicely -- get your knees checked out if they're not good in a few weeks.

Nicely done! Pretty tough course but don't expect to have that kind of crowd anywhere but Boston. It was incredible!
