Show Notes: - Well, no matter how you look at it, this is what it all comes down to. These guys don't train hard and make huge sacrifices for the press conference or the post-race party. They leave their families for long periods of time and they push their bodies right to the limit for one reason - to run as fast as they possibly can on race day. For some guys, the goal is to win. For others it might be to run under 2:07. In less than a week we'll know the outcome. - Some race week logistics:Thursday - The guys will do their final 5K session. Anyone in the Boston area that would like to come watch or to even run with the guys (for as long as you can), you are more than welcome. The only problem is the timing. Because of the weather, we're not 100% sure when it will happen. The tentative plan is Thursday around 5:00 starting at the hatch shell along the esplanade. But you'll have to check back for exact details.Saturday - We will have a small gathering in the Oak Room Bar at the Copley Plaza Hotel from 4-6pm. Ben, Baba, and James will stop by for a little while to say hello. Again, if you're in the Boston area and would like to stop by, you are more than welcome.Sunday - Don't forget that the Rotterdam marathon will be live online. That's the good news. The bad news is that it starts at 4AM Eastern Time. Monday - The race will be live on tv locally on WBZ and nationally on Versus (the old OLN). We'll also be doing live text-based coverage similar to Chicago and New York. Our coverage will complement what you see on TV. - The intro music comes from Millis Pride, which is a local band here in Boston. The lead vocalist and guitarists actually lives on the marathon course, around mile 17. He'll be out cheering on Monday. The Swahili song is called Kasongo, but I'm not sure who sings it. It came on a CD that Laban brought to us. The last song is from the podsafe music network. The song is "I'm a Racecar" by Cassandra Kubinski.
