Keep in mind that if you want a short recap, you should see my previous post.
I stayed with my friend Kathryn, her fiance, and her future in-laws at their beautiful home in Cohasset...about 30-40 minutes away from Boston.
The expo on Saturday was a lot of fun-TONS of people-waiting in line for an hour to buy stuff...
The Red Sox game on Saturday night was awesome.
My bday last Sunday:
Pre-Race: Monstering it up!
Athlete's Village: Around 6:30am we all got on buses and took an hour long drive to the starting point. We waited in this big grassy area behind a school for a few hours until the start time. It was a tad bit cold.
GO COLTS! (no wedgy)
At the start line:
During the race: I was really proud of myself for pacing myself each mile and not running too fast early on, even though I felt good. There were rolling hills but nothing too big or bad at all. It was hard to notice them because there were so many people to look at. I felt like I ran a great, comfortable race and am happy with my time. Each mile was a lot of fun with tons of fans.
This was right after I crossed the finish line- 3:39:52...Disregard the last 10 seconds of it:
Post race:
I had an awesome trip and had fun with Kathryn and her family. The weather was perfect. The Boston people are very nice. A lot of strangers would randomly congratulate me on the street. I hope to be back again to do the race again.

Congrats - good time!
That Lo-Carb Monster drink is my favorite energy drink. I thought I was the only one who liked it!
Are you going to get one of those trendy "26.2" bumper stickers to put on your car? If you do I will make fun of you out of jealousy for your accomplishments.
Ya- I always love Monster before my races. That's hilarious about the sticker. I hate seeing those on cars. They gave us one that I'll keep with my other Boston stuff but I won't display it! I did get suckered into buying a Boston jacket. Dangit.
After I click on the individual pictures, is there any way to make them bigger?
Just kidding, congrats and you should be proud! I'll watch the videos later. And I hope you took more than two pictures of the Sox game?? :(
Get home safe!
Congrats on what looked like an incredible weekend!

I thought the photo of the writing on your calves was of you picking a wedgie at first! Haha, it seemed like something you might take a picture of! It sounds like you're having fun in all of the videos, especially right before mile 21 after the hill. Great videos!
Thanks Gary and Heather (and no, I wasn't picking my butt!) :)
Great pics and videos Clara!
Glad to hear you had a great time. I definitely enjoyed the crowds when I ran it.
