It's taper time for all you Boston 2008 participants out there and here's a little preview courtesy of Bart Yasso and Runners World to help get your psyched for the big day (as if you aren't already psyched enough!!). I must warn you though, Bart seems a little confused in the video and although he mentions that the Boston Marathon is "this weekend", this is definitely a preview for the 2008 Boston Marathon which is not until Marathon Monday April 21, 2008. Maybe this was just an editing snafu!!
And the only other comment I have is that the footage of "runners village" in Hopkinton must have been taken at the 2007 marathon since it looks like a rainy sloppy mess. Let's hope the weather is not like this come this Marathon Monday!! My experience of runners village was much more enjoyable.. and dryer! It's always best to prepare for the worst but hope the best. Here's hoping for unbelievably perfect running weather in Boston come April 21st!
So, is anyone out there thinking of heading up to watch the woman's trails? I'm contemplating braving a trip on the fung wah to go catch this event. It's sure to be one exciting race!

"Sure to be one exciting race" should be "sure to be one exciting bus ride."
Fung wah or bust.
I love the fung wah.. each trip brings about a whole new exciting adventure and with it, it's own new set of fantastic smells!
Now that is a trip worth taking. To watch all of that talent in one place would be HEAVEN!!
Don't you love the words "taper time?" Now you know all that could be done has taken place.
Yes, there's just something about "taper time" which brings a smile to my face. It's like it elicits rush of satisfaction.. Ha! and I'm not even marathon training at the moment! It's an excellent place to be... knowing all the chips are on the table and you can just... let it ride!!
