I've done this race 3 times, and will run it every year I qualify. But I really don't like the race itself. It's the Boston experience that makes it worth while.

It seems that everything about Boston is designed to make you have a bad race. The expo is so good that you want to spend all day walking around. The walk from the buses to the athletes village is pretty long, and so is the walk back to the start. Then there's the course itself! It's so difficult! The first couple downhill miles kill me!

But the crowds make it all worth while!!!

Do this race whenever you get the opportunity!
