Both have been great experiences, but I like running races without more in some ways, because you get to interact with all sorts of people.<br /><br />Especially at Boston, embrace the community - and come back with the stories of all the runners you meet along the way!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004677338036439657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391901441924264417.post-34164710640575983062009-04-15T09:52:00.000-07:002009-04-15T09:52:00.000-07:00I wouldn't DREAM of running without my iPod!!!!!!!...I wouldn't DREAM of running without my iPod!!!!!!!
