26.2 miles on my piggy toes from Hopkinton to Boston!

I'll keep this short....
I did the Boston Marathon on Monday April 20th. (yay!) It starts in rural Hopkinton, MA, and ends in downtown Boston, MA! Yes its a long way, but LET ME TELL YOU, ANYONE, ANYONE, ANYONE can run the boston marathon or any marathon for that matter. It's what you put your mind to! It's definitely mind over matter. You can start out a couch potato (like moi) and through hard work become more athletic. The race consists of two groups, people that qualify and runners that raise money for charity. I fall into the later category and it took a lot of hard work and focus. I hope that a lot of people start to run and walk and for great causes as well.

We all have one life to live. You can either be the people watching the athletes in the stands,
....or you can become one yourself.
Keep it up! This marathon is the start of a new you.
