Thanks for checking out my channel. That’s awesome that you were in Boston as well. How many marathons have you run? How’d it go for you last week in Boston?

[@kellyzhu5889]

I did 14 marathons 3 Boston in 3 more years 😅 I did PR compared last year Boston 😊

How are you feeling now? How is the knee? Congratulations on toughing it out🎉

[@latebloomerrunner]

I’m feeling very good now. The knee is almost 100%.

[@williamwisemusic8864]

I never thought I’d hear you say, “Under five hours! Whoo hoo!” Now you’re starting to sound like me! 😂

[@latebloomerrunner]

Hopefully that will be the last time those words come out of my mouth! But it was an epic experience that you will hopefully go to one day.

[@unc5573]

Wow great job Kevin! Really liked the video👍🏽 That guy in the outfit must have been so hot! How uncomfortable! I also liked the parts with the first place male and female, felt like we were there with you. Cool!

[@latebloomerrunner]

Thanks to Heidi providing that extra video footage near the finish line. That guy was a trip. He was saying “I love you” to everyone along the way. Glad you enjoyed the video!!!

[@cathynewyork7918]

No! I strongly disagree when you said "Big cities are stressful." I live in a city called "New York City" - and it is exciting to live here !!!!

[@latebloomerrunner]

Thanks for checking out my video! I didn’t intend to offend anyone by my “big city” comment. I’m sure that you would probably think where I live is quite boring. 😂 I do enjoy visiting NYC or Boston or any other big city. I just can’t handle more than a couple of days there.

[@cathynewyork7918]

@@latebloomerrunner Thank you for your reply. I am just the opposite - I would probably love visiting your rural area for a few days, as I do love going to forests and mountains for hiking - but after two weeks or so, I want to be back in the heart of hyper, noisy New York City.

[@cathynewyork7918]

I really enjoyed your video -- but - but - but - I do feel that you should have respected the BAA's request that runners not film the race. If their insurance and their traditions don't want it, you should respect that.

[@cathynewyork7918]

I was in Boston to watch this marathon, standing a half mile from the finish. It was too hot for you runners. The 60-year-old man on the KZbin channel "Old Man Van Running" had trained for a 3:39 - and he ended up with a 4:03 because of the heat. I think this happened to a lot of runners. "Old Man Van Running" did a 3:48 in the last New York City Marathon, so a 3:39 in Boston might have been realistic if it weren't for the heat. I hope you still enjoyed it, however, in spite of the heat.

[@latebloomerrunner]

I recently subscribed to Old Man Van’s KZbin channel. I’ve watched several other videos from other KZbin channels and it seems that the majority of folks had a similar experience in Boston. It didn’t go as expected. But it was definitely a great experience! Glad you were able to be there! Have you run it previously?

[@cathynewyork7918]

@@latebloomerrunner No, I have never been fast enough to qualify for Boston - but I have run the Los Angeles and San Francisco Marathons in California and the New York City Marathon 22 times. I hope you get to do the NYC Marathon someday.

[@cathynewyork7918]

@@latebloomerrunner I'm glad you subscribed to Old Man Van's channel. Yes, there are several videos on KZbin of runners slowed by the heat - so you are not alone! But most of you didn't give up. Well done!

[@cathynewyork7918]

@@latebloomerrunner Did you notice that Old Man Van did NOT film video during the race, respecting the BAA's rules? Good man.
