2 - running buddies for the first 12 miles (Aimee and Katie)
12 - peanut m+ms
5 - water stations
2 - bathroom stops
11 - shot blocks
3 - running buddies for the last 10 miles (Aimee, Katie, and Sarah)
6 - towns (Hopkinton-Ashland-Framingham-Natick-Wellesley and Newton)
4 - pictures taken of us during the run
3 - big hills
1 - trip up Heartbreak Hill
8:15 - pace per mile
tons of red DFMC training shirts
