It was a great day, esp as it was on a holiday Monday so the Red Sox played that day. We went to Fenway Park for the game then came out and cheered the runner home when it finishedRunning Manhttp://gpswatches.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-59030727185311621952011-02-20T15:08:55.273-08:002011-02-20T15:08:55.273-08:00Just found this post on your blog today.

It went very well for one of us and not so hot for the other. Perhaps John should take your more relaxed approach of run, drink, enjoy, repeat :)<br /><br />I always enjoy reading your post race reports, Scott.<br />Amy BurtonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500292628386364357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-63793120492187235532011-02-08T13:06:00.718-08:002011-02-08T13:06:00.718-08:00Reading this got me so excited for my first Boston...Reading this got me so excited for my first Boston this year.

Someday I hope I'll be running those redwood trails again. Meanwhile, it's amazing to be back in New England watching the spring unfold. Would love to keep in touch: the best way is through my website, www.bobbigibb.com.<br /><br />Thanks for mentioning that I was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon. It's amazing to think that when I ran in 1966 it was generally believed that women were physiologically incapable of running marathon distances and the longest AAU sanctioned women's event was 1.5 miles. That's what they told me when I wrote for my application. I'm glad I had an opportunity to help change things!Bobbi Gibbhttp://www.bobbigibb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-42948714304955739852010-04-24T04:24:32.070-07:002010-04-24T04:24:32.070-07:00You've inspired me.

I saw the same "I majored in kissing" sign and it provided me with several laughs later down the road. I went to Boston focused on turning in a good time, but after the start decided to take it all in -- chatting with other runners (before the hills), giving high-fives to kids along the way, stop for a kiss, etc. All the positive energy carried me to a PR!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-55799908250710471562010-04-21T05:42:14.309-07:002010-04-21T05:42:14.309-07:00Great, Scott!
