Re: Run, BostonDevil, Run!
BD's predicted finish time has increased a little bit. It must be getting hot out there by the minute. Having run 11.1 km, her predicted finish time is now 6:01:01.

Re: Run, BostonDevil, Run!
it is in the 80s...not good for a Marathon. Go to raceday.baa.org...you plug her number in, pull up the map and watch he 'virtually' run.
Been watching my good friend and also my boss run - they're both finished so BD now has my map to herself.

Re: Run, BostonDevil, Run!
Also, according to the map, BD has just run past the Keohane Sports Center at Wellesley College. Yup. You recognize the name. That Keohane Sports Center is named after Nan.

Re: Run, BostonDevil, Run!
Well, if Heartbreak Hill is 32-34 km, then BD has passed it. She is at 34.94 km with a predicted finish of 6:56:18. I hope she can make up some time now that she's past HH.

Re: Run, BostonDevil, Run!
She appears to be stuck at 35k mark - I'm sure it is a glitch, the same thing happened to a friend I was watching who finished earlier. He was 35k forever then jumped to 40k and near the finish very quickly. Hope just her little animation is stuck!

Re: Run, BostonDevil, Run!
I'm not seeing anything beyond the 35km mark. I'm hoping it's just a glitch and that BD has crossed the finish line under 7 hours and is celebrating her achievement with her proud family.
YAY, BostonDevil!
