I've been meaning to write a somewhat longer blog post on my race experience, but so far I haven't found the time for it since I got sucked into work pretty much right after returning from Boston on Monday night. However, I still get the occasional question how it went, so I figured I'd write a short summary before I forget all about it.
Simply put: A fantastic experience. Raucous crowds, scenic route, even the weather was perfect for running. And to top it all off, I ran a new PR, going under the 3 hour barrier for the first time in 2:59:33!
Since then I've been mostly taking a break from running, only doing some very light recovery runs on Thursday and Saturday. Recovery is urgently needed, as I have another race coming up this weekend: The Relay, a 200 mile relay race through Northern California with 11 other crazy Googlers. Wish me luck surviving it!
