Run, Tom, Run!

Tom in last year’s Marathon

Tom in last year’s Marathon

Today marks the 109th running of the Boston Marathon. Becky’s uncle Tom is going to be running it again this year. Last year, Becky and I were able to take the day off and watch the Marathon, but this year we’ll be cheering Tom on from afar. If you’re interested in tracking Tom’s progress, you can go to the Boston Marathon site once the race begins, and put in his bib number: 21485.

Good luck, Tom!

Update @ 1:20 PM Tom has passed the 10k mark and his pace is currently 8 minutes per mile. If he can keep it up, he’ll finish in about three hours and 30 minutes. Go Tom!!

Update @ 2:45 PM As of the 30k checkpoint, Tom was still right on the 8 minutes per mile pace, for a projected running time of 3 hours 30 minutes 54 seconds. That would put him finishing at around 3:40 PM. Keep up the good work!!

Update @ 4:00 PM Tom has completed the Marathon in 3 hours, 40 minutes, 35 seconds! His time last year was 4 hours, 8 minutes, 43 seconds - that’s nearly half an hour that he slashed off of his time. And he came in only 10 minutes later than the time he had hoped for. Congratulations Tom!!
