Packing for Boston!
HELLO FROM BOSTON!
My blogging schedule was totally thrown off this week thanks for preparing for a big work event and getting ready for Boston, but I thought I would do a quick check in to say that I have arrived for my first trip ever in Boston!
I arrived last night and toured the city at night, took in a delicious dinner and got a solid night of sleep. This morning, I went on a beautiful run in the city to shake out my legs with another fellow runner who is doing the marathon at around the same time I am.
Today I have lots of events on tap with New Balance, Janji and Nuun Hydration as well as heading to the expo to pick up my race kit. SO much excitement.
Tomorrow, I will try to keep it fairly low key before the race, taking in a ball game at Fenway Park and heading for an early dinner and bed time. My blogging schedule will be a bit off until I return next week but I thought that I would share how I packed for Boston!

My husband is running too! Just dropped him off at the airport. I got like 2 hours of sleep, because he leaves packing til the last minute and only brough a carry on. Omg the carbs in his backpack is unreal.
Run hard, and run fast! I’ll be cheering you on buddy!!!!!
I TOTALLY saw your husband at the expo! How did he do?
Just wanted to wish you good luck today. I know you’re gonna do fabulous!!
You’ve trained so hard and so smart. You have some so far off of that MF injury, and you’ve hung in there through all the cross-training and now you get to go showcase your tenacity. What a month you had in March, eh? Translate all that shit onto the pavement tomorrow and leave it behind you. Go get it! You deserve every euphoric feeling of accomplishment.
Awesome result Jessica! Look forward to hearing all the details when you get back.
