Re: Boston Marathon - KenB vs LisaP - It's on!
Ok. I just spent a few moments reviewing this thread. It was fun! I had no idea Ken pulled ahead of me at any point. I totally missed places where we would have crossed paths! I will say I still had quite a bit left after the hills and I was able to not walk at all. My last k was 5:24 according to my garmin.

Re: Boston Marathon - KenB vs LisaP - It's on!
Words from the Tortoise - Planned pace was 6:00 min/km. I was at the front of Corral 2 but the corrals mixed together somewhat before the start. I may have actually started ahead of Lisa. I did not see Lisa on the course. I was slightly under my 6 minute average pace when I stepped into a puddle that disguised a pothole. My foot twisted a bit and shortly after that my left hamstring started bothering me. I stopped at a medical tent at the top of Heartbreak Hill and the nurse put some lotion on it and I headed out again. I did do a bit more walking to the finish. My new goal was to finish under my 4:25 Official Boston Marathon time of 4:25. My chip time was as reported 4:21:33. Lisa is indeed the winner of the shallonge and a great winner she is! Congratulations, Lisa!!

Congratulations to both of you! You are both winners!

No. She was one if the bombing victims who lost a leg and last year was pushed in a wheelchair, this year she ran the Boston Marathon on her prosthetic. Click on the link. It's a nice story.

Someone had to say it.
In La's defense, she might have been looking on Tapatalk which sometimes shows the photos but not all the quoted text.

Re: Boston Marathon - KenB vs LisaP - It's on!
It certainly puts my pot hole incident into perspective. I saw a number of people running on artificial legs as well as others with various handicaps. I have so much admiration for each and every one of them. They have so much courage and mental toughness!! Bravo to them all!!
Re: Boston Marathon - KenB vs LisaP - It's on!
BTW - I have already qualified a number of times for next year's Boston Marathon. I am going to register for the 2016 Boston Marathon. I am stating here and now - I will NOT accept any "shallonge". I am going to a 5 hour time next year and will high five ( or low five the kids ) as many people as I can. I will WALK the entire length of the Wellesley College section of lovely ladies. I will ENJOY" every moment. I am stating this now to appease Mrs. Tortoise who thought ( based on comments made a number of times ) that I was following that plan this year. I did enjoy the contest between Lisa and I and I liked the comments and the people following our progress. Next year they can see how slowly I can run Boston!!
I do want to thank everyone who followed us and/or comments throughout the past few weeks. You people are the best!!

You guys are both champions. Thanks for doing the shallonge. It was fun. Ken--I think you lost it on your response to the favourite animal question early on. The rest was just trying to recover.
