Congratulations to Caroline Kilel for finishing the Boston Marathon in 2:22:36. Yes, yes, I know...Geoffrey Mutai rocked it with a 2:03:02 finish, beating the old world record by 58 seconds. Amazing athletes! Both runners are from Kenya and they've represented their country well! I've been watching the race results come in, and I just can't stop. Today is the first day that Twitter has entered my life...sort of. I mean, there was a live stream of tweets that I was reading. Not a bad little network for stuff like this.
How amazing is the Boston Marathon?! If you're not a runner, you probably just think those people are crazy, but if you are a runner, then you understand how amazing these elite athletes are. I would love to qualify for Boston. I'm not sure how to even do that because for some reason, my legs just don't want to move that fast...for that long anyway, so if anyone has pointers, please pass them along. Yes, this is a serious request :-)
This gets me soooo excited about the Savannah marathon! I'm getting pumped about training again...and having a goal at the end of it. I'm working on strength right now...I want diesel legs this time around so I can propel myself a bit harder and faster! The race course comes out next week!!! 4/26, oh yea! No hills, fast course??? Puh-lease!!!
At this point, I can't wait to get off work and run! Less than 2 hours :) :) :)
Congratulations to all of you that ran Boston today! What an accomplishment!
