Re: The April Fool

What a wonderful report! Only you would make the Boston Marathon even more memorable for everyone who sees you by wearing a costume on that special day. I am so glad you shared the pictures with us.
Great race, and how nice that you were able to bond with boomers too. I wish I could have been there.
Congratulations!

Re: The April Fool

Joe-
Great race and fantastic report! It takes us on a journey that is the Boston marathon experience.

You did marvelous in poor conditions and just don't give yourself enough credit. I'm so impressed with your improvement and believe that the best is still yet to come with your running/racing.

May all your racing weekends have similiar memories.

Congratulations!

Re: The April Fool

First of all, congratulations on breaking, if only by a hair, the challenging 3:00 barrier for a pasta dinner in Boston the night before the race. Only a select few runners are capable of reaching this "gold standard" of carbo-loading excellence. Kudos!

All jesting aside, this is a wonderful RR, and you are a talented, joyful-spirited runner and writer. Congratulations on a great race. It's always a pleasure to see a race through your eyes.

Re: The April Fool

PBJ.. Congratulations on a fine finish even with the extended Deena kastor stop. Your RR was so absorbing and fun to read. The PBJ family has real patience and it all paid off. Awesome.

Re: The April Fool

HA....excellent report and race PBJ....hard to type 'cause I'm still laughing hysterically about the visual of you frantically trying to bite through your fabric in the porta-potty!

Awesome race and so great that you could meet the other boomers too...congrats!

Re: The April Fool

PBJ,

You are the best!

One of my great disappointments of Monday was that I didn't have my camera ready when you came by the water stop. Thanks for posting the during and after pics. Great race. Glad the entire PBJ clan had such a fine time in Bahston.

Re: The April Fool

That was fabulous. Thanks so much. The only part I didn't believe was the "non-athlete" reference.

Re: The April Fool

I wondered about those two pairs of tights when I was reading the fashion section of your RR, but apparently it all worked out and you were able to finish with a very respectable time. Good job on doing Boston, and another fine RR for the archives!

Re: The April Fool

Thanks, everyone, for such heartwarming comments.

My five year old, PBJ Jr., is still getting over his cold. The cold, plus lack of nap time, was the cause for his narcolepsy at mealtimes.

On to VCM! (Should have photos to post within the next couple of days).
