Workout: Boston Marathon course from about Mile 21 to Mile 25+

I went to Fenway Park Sunday afternoon to see the Red Sox beat the Blue Jays. Fenway Park is beautiful. After the game, I went to Niketown and bought the new Nike+ SportWatch. Met some people for a pre-marathon dinner.

I wanted to see the elite men and women run. But with the fans from the Red Sox game and all the marathon spectators using the subway, it was a nightmare trying to get to the course. I had originally wanted to go to Mile 16, but I knew I wouldn't make it. I was already getting text alerts (while I was on the subway) that some of my friends were already passing the half marathon point. So I decided to get off early and run to Mile 22.

I made it just in time. I was able to run with four different people between Mile 21 and the finish. The crowds along the way were great. Hopefully, I'll be running the Boston Marathon next year.
