Then, I was off to LAX for BOS! It’s a long flight however I scored a direct so it was over quite quickly.
Travel fundamentals include: iced coffee, iced tea, Spark, snacks, much more snacks, much more iced coffee, wifi, repeat.
I got a great deal of work done on the flight. This was great since I ended up not having any type of time to work over the weekend. If you emailed me or commented on social network – I’m catching up tomorrow.
I am running the Boston Marathon as part of the Hyland’s team as well as stayed in a hotel with the other runners. I stayed at the Chandler Inn. It is a fantastic location! We were within walking distance to the expo as well as tons of fantastic restaurants as well as sight-seeing locations.
I got in about 9pm Friday night as well as instantly went in browse of food.
There is a whole Foods about a half mile away. I hit up the hot food bar for a dinner of all the very best things. After Sizzler – whole Foods is my preferred restaurant.
Boston Marathon weekend – Day 1
Saturday morning I satisfied up with Chandra for a short shake-out run around the Boston waterfront. It was chilly for me early in the morning so I bundled up.
It really wasn’t that cold! sure it was cold however I ended up dumping my gloves. plus it was GORGEOUS. The sun was shining bright as well as it was a remove gorgeous day. We did about 4 miles (I think? I kept starting as well as stopping my Garmin at the wrong time when we paused to take photos or figure out where to run).
I don’t understand exactly how I’ve handled to keep a buddy when I’m such a weirdo…. (my gloves are in my running belt in the back pocket)
Chandra just moved right here 6 months ago. She was my official trip guide / Camiseta Kawasaki Frontale professional photographer / support team / picture / cheerleader as well as buddy all weekend. I don’t understand what I would have done without her. <- Seriously. I have been very stressed as well as everybody else on the team had their partner or parents or somebody with them. If not for her I believe I would have been very lonely as well as sad. After our run we walked by the Boston 5K – it was HUGE! I didn’t recognize exactly how numerous people were running it. The seems of runners getting prepared for a race, the announcers as well as all the buzz got me very thrilled for the marathon. Dunkin Donuts was the next stop. Monican runs on Dunkin! After the run I went back to the hotel to shower as well as satisfied up with the Hyland’s team for brunch. This was the very first time we were all satisfying in person. I already felt like I understood everybody from viewing their training journey as well as updates on social media. It was like we were already friends. Boston Marathon Expo After brunch we headed to the Boston Marathon expo at the John B. Hynes professionals Memorial Convention Center. This is a big race as well as the expo is truly awesome. I saw a indication that it was rated ‘best race expo in the country’. I’m not sure who voted on that – however I do believe it’s one of the very best expos I’ve been to in a long time. Bib pick-up was quick as well as easy. before the race we were sent a “Runner’s Passport”. It was an info packet with your race number plus information on race day, times, places as well as other race weekend notes. Race tee shirts pickup was in a separate space just across the hall. This assisted keep it organized too. The expo vendors as well as product was on the next floor of the convention center. Have you tried any type of of the new alcohol sparkling waters? This is really – I tried the lime flavor. It’s good!! I likewise saw one more brand at whole Foods recently. Boston Marathon Expo – Hyland’s Booth The group satisfied at the Hyland’s booth to satisfy Boston Marathon race director Dave McGillivray. I saw McGillivray speak at the Runner’s world hat technique race a few years ago. He is very inspirational. I still keep in mind a few of his quotes as well as stories from that night. I likewise lastly satisfied Rahaf from Run like a Hijabi as well as Caitlyn from Women’s Running. We’ve understood each other through email for over a year! I found the SportHooks booth as well as had to stop as well as state Hi! There was tons of Boston Marathon product including the well-known Boston Marathon jacket. I kept going back as well as forth on whether or not to get one. The very long line at the checkout made mechoose to avoid it up until tomorrow as well as try to find back. But I did get a Boston hoodie as well as then I found this runner onsie or Runsie?! I believed it was funny – it just seems so naked to run in?! I tried it on to share on the Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Dinamarca blog as well as get your opinion. I figured it would produce a great random poll – would you run in a runsie?!
Then, I ended up loving it. I wouldn’t wear it to Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Gales run – I requirement longer tight kinda shorts to avoid chafing. as well as it has an open back as well as I requirement clothes to mop up my sweat. however I like this for just using on a hot day – perhaps even for a walk or something because it’s wick-wear. It has a lil pocket for a essential or gels so I can try to capture a snack in there. Boom.
