I ran Boston 13 times, starting 1983, and the warmest day I had to contend with was in the middle 70s. I ran all those years as a fund raiser for Heifer Project International, as Team Heifer from rainy Oregon, Bud Ames -----Original Message----- From: E B <marosel2000@yahoo.com> To: Order Ecumenical Community <oe@wedgeblade.net> Sent: Tue, Apr 17, 2012 3:48 pm Subject: Re: [Oe List ...] Boston Marathon Thanks Del!

The temperature reached 89 degrees, 153 people were treated at area hospitals, and 8 were in critical condition at some stage though no one died. Here's a testimony to the conditions: "This was the toughest marathon I've ever run, and I've done 5 Ironmans, 3 Bostons and about 20 marathons," said Mark Williams, 45, of Richmond , Va. He said his time was 30 minutes slower than six months ago. "It was brutal." I was able to keep running and I also finished about 30 minutes slower than I had hoped. It was a real mind trip. I didn't really know what to do to sustain myself in the race. I had never run a marathon in those conditions before. All in all though, it was marvelous. One of those crazy things we do for fun!
