Why I loved running the Boston Marathon in the wind, rain and freakin’ cold
How do you know a runner ‘crushed’ a marathon in the worst weather conditions imaginable? They tell you. I mean, who doesn’t love a good ‘Hi, I’m a runner and I ran a marathon’ story. I got one for the ages. Yep, I’m that runner. Last Monday (April 16) I ran in the 122nd Boston ...
