I can devote my full vibes to BD now - my good friend just finished with a time 3:23:49 -
Congrats to my buddy Elton (his 3rd Boston!) and Go Lisa Go

Yay Elton!!!

And his time is way under the 3:30 he needed to qualify for next year in his (45-50) age group. He told me he was going to run 3:20-3:25 - right on the money - his mile pace didn't alter by more than a few seconds the whole way!

Bostondevil has passed the 25k mark, the website goes up to 40k. I know a marathon is 26.2 miles, not sure how that breaks down in terms of kilometers.

BD is still on pace to finish in under 6 hours.

Go BD, go!!!

Girlfriend is kicking ass! Go BD!

42.195 is a marathon.
Don't panic if they don't post a 40k - Elton's has never posted. About the time I think the has fallen down or quit his official finishing time comes up.

GO BD GO

BD has crossed the 30k mark and is going strong!!! She has a little over 10k (6.2 miles and some change) to go.

IIRC, the bottom of Heartbreak Hill is at mile 21. She should be coming down the backside of Heartbreak Hill. I believe she is doing much better at this point of the marathon than she did last year.

Heartbreak hill starts at 32.2K and goes to 33.8K - by now she should be through there - one more small rise near the finish...come on BD !!!

Really! I thought it was longer than that. That doesn't seem so bad, what are all those runners complaining about? ;)

Run BD run! You go girl!

At 36k they turn on to Beacon Street and it is a straight shot to the finish (there is on sharp turn at the very end but if you get that far you don't notice I guess!) Elton tells me you get a big boost when you make that turn...and another one when you go under the Mass. Turnpike and see Fenway Park from there <quoting elton> you could crawl in on your hands and knees.

It is actually a whole string of hills (aka 'the Newton Hills' but Heartbreak is the longest and last)
