My Road to Boston 2007

The Goal

For the past couple of years I have been running. First, I was happy when I ran a mile in less than 10 minutes. Then I wanted to run a 5K, and then came the 10k, the half-marathon and now I think 26.2 sounds like the greatest thing ever.

That is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is a challenge and that sounds fun.

After watching the Boston Marathon for 13 years and finally going to the pre-race expo this year I have decided that Boston is a runner's Mecca. We have several scenic, well-marked, and measured paths. Jubilant tourists nod and wave, all of them thinking, "I wonder, did she run the marathon?" Several running clubs call Boston home. Most of them have runs that originate or conclude at bars. People here run then drink beer and eat pizza. This is my kindof sport in my kindof town.

This blog will record my life as I work, drink beer and eat pizza towards my goal: Boston 2007.
