Thing #53 To Do in Boston: Run the Boston Marathon
Are those sweat drops or tears? Sure, plenty of us were athletes at some point in our lives, but there's a limit to how far you can take training before it's just illogical. Even if you were bad at whatever sport you played, you probably still loved it just because of the camaraderie and personal achievement. Running a marathon is a lot like playing a sport, except the match lasts for hours, you don't make lifelong friends, and no one really wins after all that effort; there's just a consolation prize of not passing out at the end (if you even make it to the end).
The Boston Marathon is the exception to our stance on running a marathon, since it's the oldest annual marathon in the world. The Boston Marathon began in 1897 which makes the marathon super prestigious and elite, so obviously, we have to try our best to participate. Unfortunately, there are a few hurdles one has to get over before being allowed to run the marathon, and they may as well be 75-foot high hurdles because there's no way we normies could ever overcome them.
That being said, a crazy amount of practice just might get you there. And we've got you covered on equipment. Don our duffle bag to keep all your supplies in one place and shop our easy, breathable tees to keep you comfortable! Good Luck.
