One week from tomorrow is the 114th running of the Boston Marathon. I got my official Boston Marathon race packet in the mail last week. My bib pickup card is what you see on the left. I’ve decided to run in it, after all. I was able to get an 18-mile run in about 10 days ago and a 10-mile run in last Saturday. The 18-mile run was a tough one, but considering the little training that I’ve done over the past month, it was bearable. Like I said in a previous post, I’ve given up on trying to run any kind of competitive time. I’m just going to be happy if I can finish it.
Hopefully, a week from now, I can say that I successfully completed it. As much of a physical challenge that this race will be for me, I’m still pretty excited about competing in it. Running alongside half-a-million cheering spectators is not something that you get to do every day. It’ll definitely be an experience to remember!
