My big mate Stevie ran a first -class 3.07. Further afield Stevie's colleague Bill Johnson ran a superb Boston coming home in 2:53:42. A brief flavour of the day from Bill's email:
The third time in Boston did the trick. A surprising sunny day in mid-50s, so I kept reminding myself that conditions were unlikely to be better. Racing the course second consecutive year helped in terms of familiarity, including taking on the hills miles 16-21, aka "Heartbreak Hill." -- Fixin' for a Smithwicks. Well done Bill -- enjoy your hard-earned drink.
PS. Bad news on the Edinburgh Marathon front. After two weeks of intensive treatment my first run on Monday was great -- 6 miles no problems at all. The plan was to run a little further on Wednesday -- but after two miles I stopped and walked -- the leg is tight and sore again. Don't think I have enough time to recover in time for the marathon in just over 4 weeks. Hey ho !!!
