Boston 2016 was a great trip. Epic really. The 26.2 on Monday, however, was more like pizza. Yes, it was good, well great. It's Boston! But..... well..... it wasn't epic. It wasn't wow while I was running. It was hot at the start and my stomach started to let me know it at about mile 10 only to suck even more until about mile 13 when it really seemed to be heating up and my stomach REALLY let me know it. I realized if I kept the pace I was keeping, I wasn't gonna feel good.... at all and might not even finish. So, I slowed it up a bit. I stopped taking GU. I stopped and drank at every other water stop. I mean I really stopped and drank the whole cup. I stopped and gave JoDee a hug right there on Heart Break Hill! I tried to enjoy it. It was Boston after all! So with my 3:31:45 finish I say the whole 26.2 was just like a pizza. Even when it wasn't very good, it still was. And, yes. I would love to go back for seconds. I can eat all the pizza I want for 2,914 calories!
