This Week’s Topic: All About Boston
This Week’s Question: What are your thoughts on the Boston Marathon? Have you, are you or do you plan to, run the Boston Marathon? What do you think of the new regulations?
I love to watch, read and hear stories about this prestigious race. I have not and don’t plan to run this race. In fact, I don’t plan to run a marathon. (I think I’ll stick to half marathons. That training is time consuming ernough!!) If I do, ever, it will be NYC or one in Florida.
I do feel bad for those would would have qualified but now with the new regulations can’t.
Last week update:
My goal was 24 miles and I ran 4 times for a total of 25 miles. YAY!!
I ran my first 5 mile race.
I didn’t play tennis at all and did Yoga once.

Before I started blogging I didn’t even heard much about Boston. Reading about it on blogs changed that. I love to read about it, especially on those blogs I follow for a while now and who are participating in it.
But like you I have no intention to run it myself nor have I the intention to run a full marathon. I looked at a schedule for a full for fun this weekend but I don’t want to put in the training effort for a full. It’s too much. I’ll stick to the half.
Only two more weeks for your second half and for my first. Cool!
