To really "get it", you should read my first Boston report. I thought the same thing: what a hassle and expense. But then you get there, and you're an absolute superstar! The whole city embraces the event and you will get stopped and congratulated if you show as much as a limp the next day. <br><br>Seriously, Marathon Monday is a holiday that everyone celebrates! I love going by the biker bar and seeing all these gruff folks chugging beer and cheering on the runners. It's definitely a fantastic experience! Boston is such an amazing experience, though!

I'm thinking either Miami, Myrtle Beach, or New Orleans in winter and then full-on training for Ironman. I've already decided to not do Boston.
