Took the bus to Hopkinton! Could not believe this was ACTUALLY happening after so many years of dreaming of it. Met up with running partner-for-a-day, Katie, and hung out for an hour before heading to the line.

Comments:

Utterly fantastic as an experience. I wouldn't trade it, and I ran up to the limit of my fitness - all I can ask for.
What would you do differently?:

Trained harder! Outside! On DOWNHILLS. The downhills completely trashed my quads. But the whole thing was phenomenal - Scream Tunnel, Meb's win, Heartbreak Hill (really!), Boylston. I could cry.

Warm down:

I was sort of dizzy and confused. Probably dehydrated and wicked sunburned. Battled nausea through the evening, and now I'm super sore. ;) Sore, but happy.

I am running Boston in April and Ironman Lake Placid is in July. I have been told that it is ambitious to think about doing an IM so close to a marathon due to the recovery time. Any suggestions?
