My dad has run it three times. When I was 16 he talked me into running a marathon with him.

I'm surprised your DIL is only 36. I would have thought she would be a grandma.

Yeah, that’s the conclusion I always come to when I start to want.

It's actually a few hours of fun and 3-4 hours of pain for most

Boston was a big goal of mine

Were your achilles and knee injuries while training or doing something else?

Injuries always seemed to forestall my qualification as well.
