I ran the Boston Marathon in 1998

Matt Burley — 4/15/2002 11:35:52 AM (archived)

Finished in 4:04, about two hours behind the Kenyans.

Couldn't walk straight for 3 days afterwards.

I must have been nuts - but I've got to say that crossing that finish line was one of the greatest thrills of my life.

Did you read about the British soldiers who ran the marathon in honor of a comrade who was killed on Sep. 11, and to raise money for his family? Truly inspirational.
