    It's good to be home! I didn't get as many runs in while I was in Florida as I wanted to. However, the good news is that Dad was feeling better when I left than when I got there!

      @Norman: If you think you see me, please say hi! I'd love to meet you in person! Otherwise, every fit, young man with short hair I'm going to be asking: Are you Norman? Are you Norman? . . . Are you Norman? Race officials may ask me to leave after a while!

      Kristin - I'm not racing, don't worry! I may be running with a friend on the 5k, but other than that I should be around mile 21 spectating :)

      That is a terrific idea! I know it just keeps haunting me that I ran past each and every one of those victims. They were out there cheering - for me, for you, for all of us just running down the street. Such a selfless act to stand there and cheer for bunch of strangers chasing their dream. No one should have to die for that. Will I ever get that out of my head? I know I will never think of the spectators and volunteers ever the same way again.

      That reminds me of the five year old who held out his hand for a high-five at around mile 24 at the UVM last year. I didn't have the strength to high-five him but I think I did anyway. I honestly don't remember if I gave him a high-five or not. I think I did but everything was a blur. This year, he gets a high-five (unless I'm close to qualifying for Boston in which case, he'll get a high-10 (Karma)).

      @Julia: Give them a call 719-596-4111. Or if you want I'll be talking to them soon since they have 4 more items of mine to work on! Yes, I had that many Boston items! I thought I was only going to do it once but post 2:50 pm has changed that for me! I'm on the BQ quest again!

      I hope we can all meet up in Boston next year. This year was difficult since we didn't know the "ropes" and how to get around. I look forward to next year. And yes, your info on sizing was helpful. Thanks...
