Apr 17 2012 - Paula places 193 overall in Boston

The weatherman, or weatherwoman in this case, won the Boston Marathon on Monday with the 116th running of the world’s most famous race. Temperatures during the day ranged between 25-30 degrees c.  Organizers emailed the race’s 26,656 runners Sunday to remind them of the risks of running in a “red-zone condition” and to give them the opportunity to defer entry until the 2013 race. Over 4,000 took the offer and decided to have a free race next year.

Dr. Paula Keating, the Queen of Road Racing in New Brunswick was the top New Brunswicker to finish the hot 26.2 mile event in 2:48:58 only one minute and 32 seconds off her NB record she set last year in Boston. Click to read more
