Have
you ever been in a relationship where all you do is give, give, give and get nothing
in return? You pour your heart out on a regular basis, and receive little more
than a cold shoulder for your troubles? Well,
that’s the way it is between me and Boston. I love the Boston Marathon. But it
does not love me.
I’ve participated in more than a few 5k’s, 10k’s
and half marathons over the years, but the primary focus of my running career
has always been marathoning. More specifically, Boston Marathon-ing. Like many other
runners who grew up in New England, Boston has always represented the Holy
Grail of running goals. Not just an average everyday goal, but an all-out,
full-blown obsession!
