2010 Boston Marathon - 114th.

Well it was a very windy day for the Boston Marathon but very exciting and the weather held up beautifully for the elite runners if not a little chilly for the 8+minute mile runners. I stayed in the Heartbreak Hill area for all of my photographing and really enjoyed getting to see every group of runners.

This is a very small sample of images from today. I will be uploading all of the images to my SmugMug site as I go through post-production.

And a smattering will be available to view on both my Facebook and Flickr pages.
