I found my results from previous Boston Marathons. I honestly forgot the years and the times. It seems like another lifetime... It wasn't easy. I had to go into a closet and go through a bunch of notebooks and logs - things that we used to keep before Excel files and online training logs. Couldn't just type in a search term!
In 1986 at 26 years old I ran a 2:54:33. Here is a scan of the actual finisher card (that is something we used to get mailed to us after some races before the Internet...)
In 1984 at 24 years old I hit the wall bad, walked the last 4 miles for a 3:27. I berated myself for such a poor performance. I had big goals and already had a 2:41 PR. On Monday I will be running the whole thing in around that time, or slower! But I will finish with a smile on my face and recover quickly :)
