Race Day Plans

Hey guys!
Quick post to reply to Mary's questions re: race day.
My plan is to just take the official marathon buses out to Hopkinton. I'm guessing they'll be leaving at an ungodly hour in the morning, but it seems to be the least-stressful way of getting there and assuring that we'll get there on time. This is my first time doing Boston at the earlier start time which I'm excited about. I figure I do most of my long runs in the morning, so I'm happy to be running the race in the morning vs. the afternoon.
Afterwards, since I live in walk-able distance from the finish line, I'll probably just walk/crawl home. You all are welcome to drop stuff off at my house the day before with shower stuff, etc. in case you want to shower and refresh after the marathon before meandering back to Somerville or wherever. Just let me know!

On another note.....in my yoga class last night, the instructor (awesome little Scottish man named Gregor) read this poem while we were resting in our last pose...and I love it, so I thought I'd share. It's called Anyway.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you may win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.
Transparency may make you vulnerable. Be transparent anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.Do good anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give the world your best anyway.
Happy running this weekend! Almost to taper time...
