Here is a quick photo journal from Monday’s Boston Marathon
Team Moose: Me and Elijah moments before we headed to the start. Heading to Hopkinton, runners lining up in the Boston Common. Race pic! All smiles making the final turn onto Boylston. Done! 3:00:18That’s a wrap, runners make their way to hotels, automobiles, or the subway after finishing.
I am a long time runner and coach and I'm here to write about it. I have blogged some before (years ago), but that site is now archived. My plan is to write some personal reflections skipping around the 40+ years of my running career, probably some race reports. However, I'd like to spend a fair amount discussing current events in the world of running, and likely dishing out on some coaching and training advice. I have some opinions--okay a lot--and like to share those. rws_58@yahoo.com
