Oh, Boston.

Doesn't watching/following the Boston marathon just make you want to run it? I mean, yeah, I know you have to train for a marathon and then run it in a fast, qualifying time and then you have to be lucky enough to be able to register for the big race and then . . . then . . . you get to train all over again and finally you can run the Boston Marathon.

Yeah, all that. However, it is exciting and yesterday's race filled me with Patriots Day dreams.

I guess that would mean I would need to train for a marathon, huh? Sure would. And I'm not exactly there yet. The one I ran was ages ago and I don't know if I'm at a place where I can train for another. Because I know what would happen. I'd shoot for a BQ. Full disclosure: Yesterday I popped on the McMillan calculator and input my half marathon time to see what my projected marathon time would be. And . . . it's 3:50. Which happens to be this (old) Happy Runner's BQ time.

Yikes.

Good thing I have two 5K races to focus on! Because otherwise . . .

Anyway. I stalked lots of runners yesterday and have to give a huge congratulations to all of the super running bloggers who ran so well! Can't wait to read the race reports.

In other news, I was very excited to have one of my articles picked up by active.com. Woo hoo! You can check it out HERE, if you're interested.

OK, have a great week, everyone!
