So I suck, because I just realized I've been following all this avidly and not commented or written you ONCE about it. But you have been an inspiration to me -- I have been slowly recovering fitness after a pretty catastrophic back injury in December, and I am only now at the point where 5K is effortless; I can't even begin to think beyond that, but am just grateful. It's been a long haul back, and I have to tell you that as I have labored up hills and iced and labored again, you have been much in my head. I mean, compared to your goals, my own are laughable; I'm happy with an easy 10K, and a half-marathon is the extent of my fitness goal, much less a marathon, much less freaking BOSTON. But you are awesome. You make me believe it's possible, even with bones and things that don't all fit together right.

So yay you! And I think your socks are awesome. One of these days I have to try to qualify for Boston just so I can get sidetracked and waste hours in the Scream Tunnel smooching lots of lovely people. :)
