My goal was to run under 1 hour... and with a furious kick... I made it!

My training leading up to the race went well. I did a lot of hill training and a fair amount of tempo and speed work.

We stayed in the race hotel by the river which made race morning so much less stressful.

I was still feeling pretty good early in the race coming down off the Main Street Bridge:

I had a little rough patch at mile 4 and had to work really hard to stay on-pace for the next couple miles. I grabbed water at every aid station, sipping a little and then using it to cool myself down.

The top of the Green Monster was obscured by clouds. It was very humid!

Even though I was over the crest, it was hard to really get moving again.
