Greetings from Boston!
I’m having a blast so far and may never leave! This is our 4th trip up to Boston and each time I come back the city gets better and better.
We arrived around 11AM on Saturday and hit up the expo. I bought a ton of goodies (2 T-shirts and a sweatshirt to be exact) and loved just walking around and taking it all in. Matt enjoyed it too 
On Saturday night, we had dinner with my parents, sister, and nephew. They are staying in Cambridge and have a ridiculous view of the city from their deck.
View at night…
Yesterday the B.A.A. allowed deferrals to 2013 because of the heat (first time ever). They urged runners who are inexperienced or not yet acclimated to the heat to not run and defer to 2013. I’m certainly not acclimated but there is nothing stopping me from running tomorrow.
I’m being safe about it though and my goal is to simply finish and not visit the medical tent. I dehydrate easily but I’m armed with salt tabs and straight-up table salt which helped tremendously last summer.
I’m so excited I can barely sit still!
We are off to visit the finish line today. Next time I post, I’ll be a Boston Marathoner!
good luck!!!!
Best of Luck! Have a great race 🙂
Good luck, run safe and have a blast!!!!!
Tomorrow will by my #10 as well! Yay us!!!! Glad you’re having a great time and are prepared w/ your salt tabs. I usually do OK in the heat, but will be packing salt tabs as well.
Slow and steady wins the race, right?
Rock on!! Have a blast tomorrow, be safe and kick butt! Your fam looks great and I love the scarf. Sorry I am your non running friend commenting on wardrobe! Lol! Continue to enjoy Boston!
GOOD LUCK!!!
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW, Kristy! Have a blast!!!! 🙂

Aww best of luck tomorrow! I ran 18 today and it was 80 degrees in PA and I was miserable. I hope you take it easy and enjoy every minute!!

It’s so nice your whole family could be there to support you 🙂 That is a great view of the city from their room. Nice picture of you and Matt! Good luck and enjoy tomorrow!! Hope it doesn’t get as hot as they predict. Can’t wait for your recap.
So much good luck tomorrow and I will keep my eyes out for you. We live near mile 22ish and plan to be out there cheering all of you runners on. Let’s hope my 4 week old enjoys being out there, too, or we may be watching from the couch. 😉
Kick ass! I know you’ve trained hard for this!!
One more thing,…. That deck in Cambridge looks unbelievable! Wow. What a dream to live with a view of the city and the Charles!
Again, good luck!
Kristy! Good luck, stay safe and kick ass. Can’t wait to see you at mile 24 (I hope!) and hear about the race.
I’ve been thinking of you all day. Can’t wait to hear how about it all. You’re probably celebrating with beer and pizza right now. XO
Woo woo! I was checking on you all day at school! Way to go! I hope I can run my upcoming marathon close to your hot Boston weather pace!
