The Boston Marathon is a mere three days away, and coverage in the Boston Globe is heating up.
On today's front page is a human interest story about a woman who is a former drug addict. She spent some time on the streets, stealing to support her habit, and ended up in jail as a result. She became interested in running, which became her therapy, and she is now ready to run on Monday in what will be her third marathon and her second Boston.
Today's Boston Globe also features articles on the elites, how to run as a bandit, more human interest stories, and a feature on four-time American winner Bill Rodgers. It's fun to watch the hype around the marathon, but only makes me wish I could be there to run it!
