In Boston, Meanwhile ...

I'm sitting here gathering my wits for the day (not that there are all that many to gather). In Boston, meanwhile, my friend Pete has just crossed the starting line in that marathon they have there. He's an amazing athlete, really: In the last six months, he's done a series of long races getting ready for this day, including a 50-miler. Yeah. Fifty miles. Running (it took something like 9 hours and 50 minutes). In the next couple of months, he's doing a tough half-Ironman triathlon (Wildflower, here in California, next month) and a full Ironmon (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in June). And today, he's there in Boston, running again. Here's the first split from the online tracker:

Go, Pete!
