Comments: Hot!! OK I began this journey 16 weeks ago when I decided to try to qualify for Boston. That means a 3;15 Marathon. My last marathon was 3:33...so you can see that is a bid improvement. Training here in Indiana...I as able to hi all my splits in training..I was ready to qualify. The race began in fog and uper 60s....muggy. It wa already hotter than any of my trainng runs. The 1st 10 miles I as under 7:15 miles...All was good. It was hot and the effort I was using was more than it should have been. As the miles passed, My pace slipped. My body felt the heat beginning to wither me. My legs were gettin gthe begging of cramps...I took a few salt pills. It seemed to keep the bad cramps at bay. at mile 23, I was in MGM and saw a drinking fountain...PERFECT...I popped a fe more salt pills and pushed the button on the fountain...the WATER WAS OFF!!! I had to run the nes 1/2 mile with the pills stuck in the back of my dry throat! As I exited MGM...both calves and a hamsting locked up in pain that dropped me. I finally got back up and finished the las 3 miles with pain shooing through my body with every step I took...The heat got this Yankee! I didn't qualify...but maybe next time. Post race
