Hey Lynne,

Great race.  Nice of you to let me drive your car (and got lost).  It's nice to hang out with you afterwards, too

Nice race. As far as the genetics, you never know - you might have a little Kenyan blood in there somewhere...

Hey Lynne,

I almost called you guys when I was following you...when we came off of Storrow Drive and took a left and the Museum was then behind us! Then it was classic that DK almost went up the exit off-ramp immediately after that!! I mean to give you guys a hard time about that...but apparently I forgot!

Ahhhhhhhhh driving in Beantown. You gotta hate it!

As far as it being crowded on the run, I agree that a lot of parts it was crowded. Wouldn't be Boston otherwise, would it?

WHERE IS THE STORY ABOUT THE SOCK REMOVAL????

Hey Lynne, it was great fun hanging out with you.  Sounds like you and May and Joanne and I all had about the same pace.  We'll have to do a 1/2 together sometime and push each other along as a group.  Nice race, congrats on the PB!

You did amazing! It did get crowded, especially around Longfellow bridge, both getting on and getting off. I'm glad that you had a good time.

It was great to meet you and have a grand old NE BT get together and race.

Cool on a nice PB....dream time for me! Great Race...you are amazing.

Surprising where we were running it wasn't crowded. We did see about 5' of people that was quite a throng.

We will see each other this summer...Emily and I will be cheering you on at Mooseman.
