Post-Boston
I've only just got around to reading the Boston report as well. What a bumper feature-length treat. I love reading about these places I'm never likely to visit!

Particularly enjoyed the Boston history and the references to Dick Beardsley. He was partly responsible for my first ever run. When I was an 10-year whippersnapper I watched the inaugural London marathon on TV and Beardsley crossed the line first with some Norwegian fellow. Feeling very inspired by it all I called for one of my mates and we went for a run. I don't remember much else except that I was probably wearing a pair of normal trousers and at some point we crossed with a teacher from school who said hello and then creased up laughing.

Also remember Saltazar breaking the world record (New York?) and the next day finding out the course was incorrectly measured.

Excellent writing Andy. I actually prefer these long meaty reports because they're ones I'd be incapable of writing myself. I'm short and quirky me...Smile
