[Oe List ...] Boston Marathon

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Sincerest congratulations, Herman. Indeed, all is possible.
 
Fred McGuire ran the marathon, I think in '54 for the U.S. Navy track  
team. Don't know his time or how many entrants there were. He medaled in the  
Western Hemisphere Marathon (Long Beach) that year. I think he weighed 140  
lbs. Was 22 years old, a year before we met.
 
Blessings on all your endeavors,
Jann

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!
