Comments:

This was my first time ever running Boston and I had a goal time of 3:24, which I knew was out the window as soon as I saw the forcasted high temps. It actually got even hotter than was forcasted. As far as I can tell it was the second or third hottest day in the 116 year history of Boston. Apparently in 1905 it hit 100! Anyway, I was disapointed but I just decided to run my planned pace as far as I could knowing that the heat would eventually take me out, which it di. I made it just past 25K before I started to come apart but it sure was fun up to that point. I'd like to go back under better circumstances.
