You know a lot of times people ask me what on earth do you think about for 3+ hours during a marathon. So here I am running through Natick and I get to thinking, “Hmm… if some thags are thanes and all thanes are wargs, are all wargs thags?”

Alright. I’ve just made the 6.2 mile mark and I’ve passed the grand total of two runners. Which puts me 3,500 – 3,700 runners in the hole.

Well I finally passed my first runner at mile five. Now my goal for this entire race is to hold this lead at all costs. Oh, you know that big striped thing at my back… it’s really hurting my shoulder. I can’t wait to get it off my back at Wellesley.
And oh yeah, Doug from Southboro, MA says hi to everyone – “WOOOOOO!” And he just screamed.
My ear hurts.

I’m keeping a 7:45 pace on the dot. When I went slower at the NY marathon I passed people at will the entire race. Here, I am being passed by every human being on this earth. I am clearly the slow guy at Boston.

This whole sea of runners is amazing – spectacular. It puts New York to shame, which is amazing. I’m hitting 7:45 on the dot and I’ll catch you later.

You remember that Pink-clad ballerina dude that kicked my tail at mile 24 at Steamtown… yeah I’m running with him right now at Boston. The guy is hilarious!
The British Accent somehow makes the outfit perfect.

Alrighty I’m underway at the 2008 Boston Marathon. I’ve just high-fived about 750 small children and I’m in the middle of a crazy throng of runners.
Every runner should get to line up and depart from Hopkinton.
