My Boston Marathon Experience

I ran my first and only marathon in Boston in 2006. My Boston Marathon experience is something I will remember for the rest of my life, however, I wanted to try and write down as much of the details as possible so others might be able to experience Boston in the same manner. The links below will hopefully give you some insight as to what it is like to run the Boston Marathon.
