i fail to see how boston marathon does not make that top 5 list but nevermind... i ran it once. only once.... will prolly never do it again, but hope to someday run another one (something 'flatter'

). back then i was young and dumb, didn't train, wasn't even a runner... but, straight out of hs, in good shape, no vices etc etc...
want to run one more sometime in the future if for no other reason than that it would make me get myself into a healthy routine. forget smoking, drinking, late nights... the whole wretched (but fun) lot.
that's a great finishing time and an even more impressive avg, dave! i hope that someday, in the far far future, i manage to squeeze in under 4hrs... CONGRATS!
