Rather, he said, the starting line is where he feels the greatest amount of “anxiety and nerves.” “It’s one of those love-hate things,” he said. “Part of the experience is the journey to get to the start point.” Hall described the storied course as “exhilarating.” “It’s challenging mentally and physically,” he said. “There’s a lot of different emotions that go through your head.” He was not fazed by the cold and wet weather conditions that plagued many runners last year. “Whining about it isn’t going to help,” he said. Hall also shared one of his traditions after crossing the finish line on Boylston Street. “I grab a shot of tequila with my friends,” he said. Hall said he does not spend much time on the sidelines following the marathon. “You look for the next race,” he said. In addition to running Boston, Hall has participated in seven other marathons, including those in New York and Chicago.
