Craziness in Boston
The whole city has been overtaken by the marathon and runners. The airport has Boston Marathon signs all over, the subway is filled with runners in the famous Boston Marathon jackets, and most people (not me) in the city have off because it is going to be impossible to get to work and school. I really did have to take a deep breath and remember to breath last night when I saw the first of the runners in the subway because I know those runners are very fast-and I was impressed in a star-struck kind of way. I am so proud of everyone who is running today-in Boston or even a few miles at home. Just getting out the door is worth being proud of.
I am really looking forward to seeing how it all pans out and I SOOO wish I could be along the course watching or at a water stop (my club has an unofficial one along the course). Runners and non-runners alike are making plans to cheer on the runners. Alas, I will have to be satisfied with checking the results when I can first get to a computer-after I sign off from here not until 7:30 PM!
Good luck all, even though you are probably in your final preparations.
As a mini sidenote, I biked to the gym this morning and elipticalled for 30 minutes. No calf pain, so all is good. I am now icing and ibuprofening as I blog.
