Monday - Boston Marathon 26.2 miles
Absolutely miserable conditions - rain, 40 degrees with a 25mph headwind
My feet were numb by mile 5 and even with only 2 months of training and three different injuries, I was 2:04 at 13.1 but turning at the Fire House and going up the hills, my knee started locking-up. Forcing me to stop then walk til it unlocked before I could run again and within 1/4 mile it would lock up again. My time and psyche were killed from it.
Brought extra set of gloves but even changing them at the half way mark, my hands were still numb. After passing BC, I wanted to digest some Cliffshot Blocks but I couldn't open it and had to stop to ask a police officer to open the package for me.
After crossing the Finish Line, my legs completely tightened up and it took me a hour in the pouring rain to get to my Team's Watch Party. Once, I got a chance to change out of my wet clothes and warm up, my legs felt so much better.
Well, another Boston Marathon in the books.

Congratulations on finishing, and too bad about the weather. Seeing it was cold and wet did make me feel a little less bummed about missing the race, however.
