Wow, Herman, congratulations!  That is some feat.  I am impressed.  I won't even ask you how old you are. Joan

I ran the Boston Marathon yesterday. The temperature reached 89 degrees, 153 people were treated at area hospitals, and 8 were in critical condition at some stage though no one died.
 
Here’s a testimony to the conditions:
 
“This was the toughest marathon I’ve ever run, and I’ve done 5 Ironmans, 3 Bostons and about 20 marathons,” said Mark Williams, 45, of Richmond, Va. He said his time was 30 minutes slower than six months ago. “It was brutal.”
 
I was able to keep running and I also finished about 30 minutes slower than I had hoped. It was a real mind trip. I didn’t really know what to do to sustain myself in the race. I had never run a marathon in those conditions before.
 
All in all though, it was marvelous. One of those crazy things we do for fun! 
 
Herman
