Running Partners – Podcast
I started listening to the irunningradio.com podcast the other week. Today I listened to Episode 11 on running partners, and it really struck a chord.
Not the same Boston Marathon
So it was announced today that the Boston course will change slightly near the end, AND there will be a wave start, 12 noon and 12:30.
