I can't believe you were able to identify and get footage of so many of the bloggers, especially amidst all of the crowds and action. Great job and I loved seeing the videos! I've never run the Shamrock Shuffle or spectated it myself, so it was fun to get a taste of what it is like through your footage.emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-13306758049556598902013-04-10T13:32:17.532-07:002013-04-10T13:32:17.532-07:00No!

Besides seeing all of you guys, I got to see all of the leaders which is something I never get to do in most races when I'm running them. If I run Boston according to plan, you will see me running negative splits. However, if it's hot or it's just not my day, watch for huge positive splits! :-)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-47779576276864956272013-04-09T09:21:28.070-07:002013-04-09T09:21:28.070-07:00I did not see the guy with the dress shirt, I will...I did not see the guy with the dress shirt, I will have to look for him.

Did you see the guy in the video right before Lisa Uhl passed wearing a button up dress shirt??? I didn't hear or see you, but then again I was kind of off in space. From your video the gal I was trying to race with wasn't as far in front of me as it appeared from behind, shoot.

Have to say seeing a familiar face out there is always a mood lifter- especially in the later stages of a lung burner like this race. <br /><br />I think you made the right decision regarding not running it- you've got the Super Bowl of marathons coming up in less than a week! You better believe I'll be glued to my PC at work tracking you & all my other buddies running from Hopkinton to Boston!Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-56640352500267782462013-04-08T17:12:26.342-07:002013-04-08T17:12:26.342-07:00Good luck in Boston!Good luck in Boston!Erica @ ericafinds.comhttp://ericafinds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-73146633278062930082013-04-08T17:11:05.545-07:002013-04-08T17:11:05.545-07:00Pete - Erica from Erica Finds at ~10:50 in the vid...Pete - Erica from Erica Finds at ~10:50 in the video with Britt.
