In this episode of The Goofy Little Podcast, I run the first 18 miles of the Boston Marathon course and I'll let you know if there's anything new to look for on the road before you arrive to run this thing. If you've traveled from afar, you might want to find other things to do with your time in Boston besides driving out to the suburbs to check out the course. That's where this episode comes in, as I'll do my best to describe what I'm seeing: and what you'll see as you run the Boston Marathon. I'll also give you some recommendations for things to do while you're in Beantown, and finish with some history about the spot where we begin our run towards Boston: the starting line of the 114th Boston Marathon.
