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
