Run, BostonDevil, Run!

Post by CathyCA » April 16th, 2012, 11:29 am

Today I'm sending out vibes to our favorite Boston Marathon runner, BostonDevil!

You can track her progress today by her bib number, 25545, on the Boston Athletic Association's website.

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.

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.

Yes, the map is how I'm keeping up with BD. Technology is so cool.

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.

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.

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!

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!
