Congrats to RBull

Congrats to RBull (Deane) for completing the Boston Marathon in fine time too.
Kudos bro...... I know you're not home yet but this will welcome you on your return.

They messed up the coverage on OLN, so I had to follow it thru a search on the B/marathon site.
OLN is scheduled to have a rerun tonight at 8 and again at 12 I believe. If it's on, I'll catch site of it then. Apparantly from your data, you started about 3 minutes or so after the official start, so you should be easy to spot.

Pace was excellent at 7:49/m.
Once again congrats on the accomplishment. You made us all proud.

Can't wait to hear the details.

Colin.

LOL, I can walk for miles (with the kids ) but after a mile or so of competative running, I'd be wearing a 'stretcher'....

Kudos to you Deane, and anyone else who does the long distance thing.

Colin.

First off thanks Colin for posting the thread. Thanks to PDT, Ian,Shane,Giddyup69,Oldvfrguy for the compliments,interest and kind words guys. It takes that kind of attention to help keep up the drive to do another one!
As I mentioned on another thread I was honoured with being mentioned in both of our newspapers here in Halifax. I was just told by my neighbour that her 10 year old son did his presentation for school on the Boston Marathon with my profile, newspaper clipping, result blah blah . It's probably the closest thing an average guy can get as mini celebrity status for a moment.
Oldvfrguy, you're never too old to run. Canada has the world's record for oldest marathoner and the fastest 70+ age group Ed Whitlock of Ontario who runs 20-30 minutes faster than me!
