Running headlong into a season of overkill, and having already commemorated the anniversary of the Boston bombing a few days ago, today I also commemorated the actual running of this years Boston marathon with my own long run. I'm not quite yet at the stage of running a full marathon distance again, but I figured I could at least run for as long as the winner Meb Keflezighi did, and so to do so I ran my "standard" Lane Cove River run and tacked on a couple of laps of the block when I returned.
Whereas Keflezighi ran the full 42.2km of course, in about the same time as he took (actually I was about a minute longer at 2h09m), I ran less than half that distance - 20.2km. No matter, it was a good run by my standards, and once again a little faster than previously, so I'm still improving, which is gratifying.
And boy did we teach those Boston bombers a thing or two!
