I got my race packet in the mail yesterday! The booklet they give you has pretty much all the information you'll need for race weekend from parking to course information to official race gear. It also explains how to get to the start. Even though I'm in wave 2 and starting at 10:30am I still have to be on the buses at 6:45am because the roads close leaving the city. They transport you to the start where athletes will be able to hang out in "The Athlete's Village." It's a huge tented area where light refreshments and entertainment are provided for the three hours before the gun. Something else I didn't think about before ... I can qualify for the 2011 Boston Marathon during the 2010 Boston Marathon. DUH! I guess I just never thought about it but I am trying to forget it as quickly as I became aware of it. No more pressure will be needed.
My race shirt came in the mail today! I'm running in memory of my family members who I've lost. Instead of telling you about - see for yourself!
It turned out better than I thought and it fits great, which is what I was worried about. I am so happy to have the opportunity to run for such incredible people who truly made me a better person and taught me some of the greatest lessons in life.
12 days to go!!
