Wicked Fast Run

That was the back of the T-shirt I saw while standing in line at Boston Logan Airport: Wicked Fast Run. Sums up Boston - - Wicked is the adjective used for everything good in Massachusetts.

There were a lot of marathon folks in line at the airport and in the security line, you can tell because they are wearing marathon paraphernalia - - Finisher’s medals, the shirt we got for the race (light blue, long sleeve technical shirt, pretty cool), sunburned, or just plain walking funny. That was me, sunburned and walking funny. In 2006, I could hardly walk the next day my quads were smoked from the downhills and my hamstrings were giving me lots of problems. This year, I am moving much better, my legs are just sore and a little on the weak side. I think I am going to not be running for a couple of weeks, I will probably hit the gym on Monday, taking the rest of the week off.

The finisher’s shirt brought my total of free shirts for the race to 4: Finisher’shirt, KIA/WIA shirt for getting them donations (Wellsley Football girl got that shirt, I put my email address on it, I’ll see if she sends me a note), USASOC Boston Marathon shirt (donated by UnderArmor) and a T-shirt from the Boston Police Department. The Boston Police Department is going to Wade, he would probably like it. The finisher’s shirt will probably go in the bottom of the drawer with the rest of my finisher’s shirts that I never wear, nice shirts, but I don’t want to get into one of those running conversations with a stranger, you never know where that will lead.

My pre-race photos have been posted to the blog - - I will post my race photos as soon as I get em from the pros.

JFord kicked in a dontation, I am not over 1800 bucks. Still waiting on the boys in the Tampa choir, I will find out about that in a few days. Thanks!
