Brad's right. <BR/><BR/>DON'T spend too much time at the expo or on your feet the day before. DON'T worry about being passed by hundreds early on because you could be passing even more at the end.<BR/><BR/>DO find a bathroom or bring you own to the start line (those gatorade bottles have many uses after all they become empty). DO come early to Boston. DO go to the bathroom BEFORE you get on the bus. DO bring something to sit on at the village. DO come prepared for any weather. DO kiss the girls from Canada! DO high five the little kids being help in parents arms. DO savor the experience of this race and let your time be what it is. DO live and run in the moment just like the Kenyans. DO train for the downills. And most of all DO BOSTON and have fun!Love2Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862751632099235794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722492664490218082.post-62190567171424063902008-11-20T02:42:00.000-08:002008-11-20T02:42:00.000-08:00"don't stop at Wellesley to kiss girls" - damn, th..."don't stop at Wellesley to kiss girls" - damn, that was the part I was looking forward to most.<BR/><BR/>Despite all the great advice I think you have to experience the race once on your own body to really learn the lessons. You can then apply them on your second try (not that I'm likely to to it twice.)Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.com
