Brian says it was always his dream to run in the Boston Marathon, so when he qualified with a time of 3 hours and 5 minutes, he made plans right away to run the very next race. So there he is--
Fortunately he's pretty fast, and ran that hilly 42 km course in 3 hours and 1 minute.
Which means he was already finished and headed home when the bombs went off.
Brian writes how he felt such joy during the run and that the people of Boston made the run so much fun, that he felt a great respect for them.
He plans to run again next year.
