Starting at 10:00 today for Boston #3! The weather is perfect and I’m feeling strong so it’s time to go.
I’ll be reading comments on the bus on the way to the starting line so if you have any mantras, mental tips or anything at all to tell me… tell me now:)

“I got this.”
My simple mantra that’s short and easy to remember. Might come in handy when you get to Heartbreak.
I finished a few seconds behind you in 2015. Remember how horrendous the weather was that day?? I enjoyed every minute of it, because c’mon…it’s the most iconic race in the world. Glad you have better conditions today.
You got this, Janae! Most importantly, have fun!
Jenny

Good luck and have so much fun on this perfect – hope to see you on the course or in the village!
My mantra today is Back – after some injury, after the pandemic closures…. We are Back. And it’s a blessing!

I’m excited to watch the race and track you! I know you’ll do your very best, and that’s more than good enough for me! I like to use my sons’ little league football coach’s mantra, “Want some, get some.”

Pain is temporary glory is forever
Smile thru the pain and remember it will pass

Wishing you the best of luck! Your advice, which you’ve given us all over the years and which I always return to, is that you can do difficult things if you try hard enough basketbros.
