Highlights:
- Perfect weather, fantastic course, mental note to come back here if I ever decide to get serious about qualifying for Boston again
- Got to Independence Hall just after the alt-right rally ended so I didn’t have to explain to my 7 and 5 year old what a Neo-Nazi is
- Crossed the finished line, ran up the Rocky steps and then ran back to the hotel, so, ultra?
Low-lights:
- Phone died mid-race, no photo evidence of my post-race Rocky steps pose
- Luke, unimpressed by the Liberty Bell, “its big, I guess, I just thought it would be much bigger”
- Had to ditch the sweatpants at mile 1, not sure how Rocky did it
Thanks:
- To Marge for tagging along and entertaining the kids while I ran
- To John and Peg for once again hosting Eli
- To HBO for providing the race entry free of charge
