   I think Lance did a great job (almost “as usual”) not only by finishing in this time but also keeping people focused on his lifework.

   Question for Lance: How do the quads feel today?

   Great work and a job well done!
   It’s great to have you show us the way. No excuse for us sitting on the couch while you’re pounding the pavement.

   Thank you once again for your extraordinary effort!!

   Even more impressive than his finishing time is the way Lance keeps the cause of Cancer Survivorship in the public eye.

   Doug and Colin would have beaten even worse than they did in the Austin AT&T Marathon in February.

   And most importantly, WAY TO GO NICKI! I’ve run many marathons, but YOU are the Boston Finisher. YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK!

   I get tired just driving from Hopkinton to Boston…. What an amazing accomplishment for your entire team. Congratulations and thank you….. I guess this puts us 26.2 miles closer to the CURE!!

   Just wanted to say congrats to Lance on his Boston performance. He may have caught a glimpse of us as we finished just 13 seconds ahead of him. I was pushing my wife in her racing wheelchair and our 8-year-old daughter ran the last 1/2 mile with us to the finish.

   I ran Boston this year too. However, my time was much longer, it was 6:02.

   Congratulations Lance, and you can say that you ran in the same race that Nancy Marin ran (lol).
