My Bed

Sorry for the super lame post last night. I was tired!

I woke up around 7:30am this morning and rolled back over for another hour. I can't sleep past 8:30am though, it's impossible! I happily tuned into my Mix 98.5 Acoustic Sunrise, grabbed the Boston Marathon Official Program, and slipped back under the covers. In the last hour, I have become enthralled in the story and excitement around Ryan Hall, age 26 and Kara Goucher, age 30. They are the American promises, in the top three elite runners, they could bring the glory of Boston back to the United States!

I can't wait to run in such a historic race! The US hasn't claimed the Boston Marathon title in 25 years! The last time, a US Man won was in 1983 and 1985 for the Women. From reading an interview with Ryan and Kara, I have tuned into YouTube. Ryan Hall mentioned, "The Duel in the Sun" is a very inspiring race between Kara's coach - Alberto Salazar and David Beardsley in the 1982 Boston Marathon. Ryan mentioned it taught him how to run the course, so I thought maybe it could help me too! Wow, I am stuck in the YouTube world of running for the day.

I found a particularly PERFECT video that I'd like to share. It's 44 seconds, Kara Goucher explains how she started running.

How Kara Goucher Started Running

She was in the Band too!! hahahaa!

Enjoy the race everyone and I would suggest updating your phones to include updates for Ryan and Kara!
