The Boston Marathon is an undisputably magical experience. I say undisputably magical because even though I ran terribly, had horrible leg cramps, felt awful from the hot weather and from going out way too fast in the first half...it was still exciting, amazing, and entertaining.
All 26.2 miles are fully lined with spectators who are cheering you on. Runners wear clothes with their name on them or something funny and the spectators will call your name! Some runners dress in ridiculous outfits - the year I ran I saw a "Captain Cramp" in what must have been an extremely uncomfortable spandex suit with large letter "C" on front.
Turning the final corner and seeing that finish line lined with thousands of people took my breath away. It is always an accomplishment to finish a marathon. But finishing Boston - no matter how well or bad you run - is a special experience.
