    As an intern Newsbunny, I once got to stand on the 'press bridge' right over the finish line.


    What a view! What. A. View. A bird-eye look at the champions running towards the finish line.


    That was the first time I got to see things as a reporter. It was a thrill and half.

    Just finishing that Marathon is a great achievement. Heck, qualifying for it is still darn hard. I can't imagine winning it! CONGRATS to them and everyone who ran!


    PS. Ahem.. I ran my first 5K about 1.5 years ago! I felt extra proud! I know this a post about the Boston Marathon, but I want to re-express my love for the Couch to 5K program. It made go from 0 miles to a couple miles. *suddenly considering about running again*

    One of my best friends completed the Marathon today! She was hauling ass - and I was tracking her all along. She's setting personal records at a marathon, I am setting personal records for speed at which I can shovel lunch down my face at my desk. Everyone's pleased.

    I think "Dire Tune" is probably the most awesome name I've heard all day. It's probably not pronounced the same as the words in English, but it just looks so cool.

    @justcallmespartacus: Congrats to your friend!! I am in awe of the Boston Marathon because in order to even qualify to run in it - you must have a fast time in another marathon. It is TOUGH, even for those that run marathons. This is my goal for 2010

    I think my legs would break off at the knees if I attempted a marathon. I can't even walk to the park and back without getting 1" wide blisters on my heels.

    @Majrhoulihan: I once decided to run a 5k with my friend who regularly runs marathons. By the end I was beet red, gasping for breath, and in a puddle of sweat.
    Her? She was literally GLOWING and wanted to go to the park for a "decent cool-down".
