Kim and I were able to sneak into Boston 2013 just before it filled. Wahoo! Looking forward to going there in April.

Not much today just 40 min XT + core at the gym before lunch.

Glad you got your entry before it closed. Now time to secure the hotel room!

Congrats on getting into Boston!

Thanks guys. Any suggestions on where to stay in Boston?

Nice to hear from you Dale, I hope you're feeling well and the injury bug has left town.

If you can afford it or find a place, stay downtown near to the finish. It is great to be within walking distance or a T ride from the finish line plus it is a neat place during the week.

I have stayed at the Hilton Backbay, Hilton Financial district and Doubletree downtown. I have heard good things about the Hampton Inn in Cambridge (close by the T), Boston Marriott Copley, Club Quarters, Westin at Copley Place, Embassy Suites at Logan Airport. I know so folks who stayed out at the starting line for a lot less $ but they had to rent a car and find a way back to the hotel from the finish line. Plus, harder to get around town to see the sites and the expo.

Sweet! You going to push it or run with Kim at Boston?

From Tom on Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 12:14:45 from 137.65.57.81

Terry we're just gonna take it easy and enjoy the whole experience - take pictures, mingle with the spectators,... and just have a grand old time.

Jeff - thanks for the suggestions. I think we stayed at the Hampton in Cambridge when I ran Boston a few years back. We'll take a look at some of those you've mentioned and hopefully find something that works for us.

Terry...I wonder if he means HE will enjoy the experience and mingle with the Wellesley girls while I take pictures....?
