No running.  I'm at a crossroads with running again.  I want to focus away from the marathon, but it truly keeps drawing me back in.  I have been looking at races, but I have not pulled the trigger.  I think I am over Boston.  This last iteration was... okay.  I appreciate the prestige, but the course is quite frankly, hard.  And for the price has escalated to $230 which is insane.  We'll see.  That's expensive for an apple, a snack bag of doritos, two oreos, a gatorade, and a shirt that starts to pull apart after a couple of washes.

But a lifetime of memories of the high fives and crowds and family cheering you along the course is....priceless. :)
