This was my 5th consecutive Boston Marathon and my fastest Boston time! Despite the cold and the rain, the aid station volunteers and crowd support were wonderful. As long as I could tuck in behind other runners (which is easy in a race with a field this large), the wind was a nonissue. The long sleeve technical tees from Adidas were great as always. I liked the expo better when it was at the John Hancock Center - this location felt very cramped.
