108th Boston Marathon
For me, the Marathon is a fantastic inspiration. It’s truly awesome to see the leaders fly by, but it is also a great boost to see all the regular people accomplishing such a seemingly impossible task. You see all those faces trot by and you know the work they have put in over the last 18-24 weeks. Having run in the past, I can tell you that once you’ve done a Marathon, all other insurmountable tasks seem conquerable.
Another thought: I don’t think there is another sport where an everyday person can compete in the same event as the best in the world.
