Man....I love Marathon Monday!!!! Walked the 2.5 miles from my house up to Comm Ave. right at the 20 mile marker just before Heartbreak Hill. Got there with a bit to spare before the elite women and then men came through... wow! Hung around to see my amazing Hannah fly through the Newton hills! She looked fantastic and finished in an insane 3:13!! She is my hero! Anyway then walked up the hill to BC to get a bite to eat then walked back home. Usually I walk from Heartbreak Hill to the finish line area but this year I just didn't feel like fighting the crowds. Another amazing day in Boston..... so proud of everyone out there who gave it their all! Congrats!!!!! Total walking today 7.0 miles (I'll count that as my recovery 'run' for today and put 1/2 the mileage in my count for the week....) Also congrats to Benn and Emma on their amazing finishes in the 6 hour ultra in the horrid weather yesterday in Buffalo! You guys rock! <3
