Boston Marathon Countdown: The Daily Feed, Fit-Ink style

I can attempt to report, photograph and tell stories about the Boston Marathon all I want. But I'm a one-woman show when it comes to most of the marathon action so it's tough to keep up, and until hijacking my mom's iPhone, I was technology deficient too. So I still haven't gotten the hang of the Twitter but at least I found a couple of cool sites offering tons of marathon action. Check 'em out (especially since I'm having a hard time keeping up after driving between two states in the last 48 hours and walking through the expo again to waste time when my hotel room wasn't ready yet):
  • Runner's World has a special section devoted to the Boston Marathon and they'll be blogging live from the press room on race day. Find the action at bostonmarathon.runnersworld.com.
  • Liz and I bantered back and forth with Paul at RunBoston09.com last year...I discovered he's back again (and better than ever) at runboston2010.com. Also check out his Fit-Ink shout out--sweet!
  • Courtesy of The Boston Globe, boston.com has a marathon-specific site complete with a blog, course details, spectator guide, photos, 2009 information and runner stories. Endless reading, I tell ya.
  • Just in case you need easy access to the official Boston Marathon site, don't forget you can track your runner and read about how the race unfolds at bostonmarathon.com or baa.org.
  • And if you're a Twitter fan search for Bart Yasso (@BartYasso), Josh Cox (@JoshCoxRun), Meb Keflezighi (@runmeb), Ryan Hall (@ryanhall3), and Runner's World (@runnersworld) and follow them. I'm a fan of reading their updates--and see who retweets stuff about them. 
These are just for starters, but entertaining for sure. I'd post more but I need to rest up...with a race on Monday, tonight's my last good night of sleep before tossing and turning Sunday.
