<p>Congrats to your son! I remember my first marathon finish, and it is a great feeling. Happy trails to him.</p>
<p>Thanks MOWC! He started slow…felt good until 17m when he began to realize he was getting a bit tired and said the last two miles were torture on his hips and thighs. Great race, good running weather, and terrific volunteers. It was great to get your advice.</p>
