Tomorrow is the 118th running of the Boston Marathon. Obviously there is a lot more attention being paid to this year's race and everyone is hoping it will go off without incident.
I am so excited for all those running....ok, ok, I'm jealous! I totally wish I was there. I hope to be in their position next year.
I found a "cool" video of the Boston Marathon course (cool depending on your version of cool ha ha) Boston Marathon Course In 8 Minutes
My entire focus right now is my race in 1 week....I'm still on the fence thinking I want it here and I don't want it here. I'm not the only one focused....regulars at the restaurant I work at asked me about my running a lot this weekend...some because they know I'm a runner and there's a lot of attention placed on Boston and they wondered if I'd be running it and some because they know I've been in training for another marathon that's coming soon. I like how these people I "know" (know in terms of they come into the restaurant often and we've developed a friendship of sorts) about my love for running and genuinely seem to care/be interested in it. Some are in awe, some think I'm crazy, some are excited, some read my blog! I relish the well wishes and hope the next time they come in I'll have good news to report back!
Qualifying for the Boston Marathon is something all serious marathoners strive for....getting there must be an incredible feeling that I hope to experience soon! I hope all those running tomorrow have an amazing race where the only big news will be PRs!
To help get me there I'm going to remember this quote from Ryan Hall, "I don't think about the miles that are coming down the road, I don't think about the mile I'm on right now, I don't think about the miles I've already covered. I think about what I'm doing right now, just being lost in the moment."
