**Go check out Carrot ‘N’ Cake right now. DO IT!
Got all my stuff ready last night and was set for a 5:30am wake up call which isn’t too terribly early for a big race. I need to be at the bus stop around 7 so I have plenty of time to do my pre-race thang.
This is the tentative eats plan:
2 cups of coffee this morning, the CLICK Espresso Protein drink (mixed with a bottle of water) while I wait for my 10:20am start, the Clif bar 30 minutes before start time and then the GU gel and cinnamon bears for the race.
I didn’t bring any gels with me on the trip because a few people said the airport security might take them so I brought candy instead. Genius, I hope. There’s nearly four 110 calorie servings so I’ll eat them like GU’s I guess.
Thank you all for your kind words, emails and comments about this race and weekend.
Thank you to Jeremiah for hooking me up with sweet gear.
Thanks to my mom for no reason except just being awesome.
I’m trying hard to bring back the high ponytail look…
Sportin’ this pink zebra BIC band, 26.2 Apparel outfit and Zensah compression socks.
Off to do #17.

Good luck! You’ll rock it. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
woohoo! Good luck!!
I’ve taken gels on a plane a couple of times and don’t even bother putting them in my “liquids bag.” They scanned my bag once to see if it has traces of explosives, but that’s about it.
Loving the high pony.
Good luck Sarah! I’m excited to read how it went!
HAVE AN AMAZING RACE! : ) So excited for you!
High ponytails are AWESOME – totally support this comeback! Good luck!
Good luck!! I still can’t believe you just ran a marathon two days ago, and now you’re running Boston! You’re amazing

Good luck today!!!
Good luck!!! Have a great race! Love the high ponytail also, haha.
You’re currently running, so I hope you are kicking some a$$!
Best of luck SR!
I am tracking you on the marathon website. I am cheering you on while I am at work. You are an inspiation.
Good luck – stay warm! I am freezing cold just looking at that outfit!
HAVE A BLAST! I’ll be cheering from Cali
Just out of curiosity, what is the necklace you are wearing? Does it have a special significance (i.e. a good luck charm), or are you just wearing it?
one is a tiffany starfish that my husband gave me (our beach wedding’s theme was starfish) and the other is a diamond necklace my dad designed for me for an engagement gift so both have meaning and i rarely take them off.
oh, ok! well those are definitely two good memories to carry with you across the finish line
GOOOOOD LUCK GIRLFRAN!!! You are so gonna rock Boston like nobody’s biz
Can’t wait to hear how you do!!! And love the zebra headband!! xoxo
I hope you are doing great things right now (but I’m sure you are like every other time you have run).
a million good luck wishes to you today SR!
Woohoo I just tracked you on the Boston Marathon website and they are projecting 3:29 looks like you are doing great!! Can’t wait for your recap!
Hope you’re rockin it right now!!! I hate how my hair looks any way except in a high ponytail
Knock it out of the park SR! Will look for you on tv when I get home (DVR’d the live race).
And um…unless you have just been purposely posting pics of yourself where you just look a bit not as skinny…todays photos make you look like you seriously have lost 10 lbs. Good God woman!!
now go be a wicked fast runnah!
YOU’RE RUNNING BOSTON!!!!

I cannot wait to hear of your finish. You are absolutely amazing.
Yay SR!!! Good Luck Today!!! Thanks for sharing ‘Carrots N Cake’… I am now a follower!
Hope the race went well! So exciting that a new world record was set today in Boston. Lightning fast! I love your outfit. You look so cute! I love that headband.
I’ve been thinking about you for the last few hours. That sounds super creepy but it’s for a good reason. I hope you’re having an amazing time out there!
If my hair looked as cute as yours does up that high it would be my new go to running hairdo.
Good Luck, SR!!!!
ROCK OUT!
Good Luck!!!
Love the outfit & the high ponytail.
Sending you fast running vibes today!
Tracking you ~!! You are rockin’ it!
I have been thinking about you since 7am! I know you’re gonna KILL it out there and I am seriously excited for you!
You sound so chill!! I hope your state of mind gives you wings today!
All the best, Sarah! Just wanted to let you know that you are an amazing inspiration. Greetings across that big pond.
Go Sarah Go! We love you and are so unbelieveable proud of you!
Hi! I just yelled “skinny runner!” as you were about to cross the boston marathon finish line! I was looking for the pink tank, but spotted the socks! Congratulations, girl! So glad I spotted you!
tracking you on baa web site & you are rocking it! Way to go!
I was diligent in my work duties today and appropriately stalked you at Boston. I lead by example, let me tell you. ANYWAY, fantastic, fantastic job. You rock in all kinds of ways. Enjoy your accomplishment!
AMAZING!!!! Simply AMAZING!! Way to ROCK Boston!
ok 2nd time ever posting a comment on a blog (1st happened a few days ago, also on skinnyrunner)I JUST SAW YOU!!!! but I didn’t know it at the time. Just came back to work after some marathon watching, checked out your blog and I rememeber seeing the hot pink compression socks and the pink head band. You are much skinnier in person… even though you look skinny on your blog, in person you are amazing.
just saw you zoom by around mile 24 and managed to get out a Sarah!! before you took off towards the citgo sign. so excited to spot you and I can’t believe the pace you were pushing after just running gansett on saturday. congrats and hope you enjoyed the race–can’t wait to hear your recap!!
Wow! Just saw your time. You were flying. Congratulations.
Sweet run, SR. Squashed your 3:45 goal, nice! Congrats!
Go be amazing!
Hope you had a great race Sarah!
I can’t wait to read the race recap for Boston!! The NYC recap was one of my favorite posts of yours, and I love Boston even more than NYC! Congrats on a great finish, coming off a marathon just 2 days ago – you’re a rockstar!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 3:26:32??…and Gansett just Saturday! IN.CRE.DI.BLE! You’re truly a rockstar!
CONGRATS on your 3:26:32 finish!!! AWESOME! Can’t wait to hear the report.
Hey SkinnyRunner!! I was cheering on my friends today and saw you run by at about mile 25… I screamed “SkinnyRunner” like a weirdo but missed you! Congrats on an awesome race!!
Hope you had a great time – sounded like good conditions – did that tailwind push you faster?? Was heartbreak hill all that you thought it would be?? Boston is a lofty goal of mine- maybe when the qualifying time is 4 hours…
Yay this is so awesome! I’m a Bostonian and I thought of you as I checked out the finish line earlier today- I hope you enjoy the city and your achievement for running today
Woohoo!
I did not STALK you at all : ) BUT great job today! I knew you would run Boston faster. When you posted that 3:45 goal I was like HA she will be faster on the second one.
Hope it was a great race! Can’t wait to read about it.
Just checked your time! Two marathons in less than a week and you still were under 3:30!!! SR is my running hero!!!
Congrats on finishing both Marathons strong, SR! I tracked you today during the Marthathon, it was nice to be able to follow along.
Just curious, what’s your Marathon PR?
How awesome to be featured on C-n-C!!! I love your self talk regarding running Sr!
Killing the high ponytail!
Way to kill the back-to-back!! You rock girl!!
i hope you did well! i work my SR shirt to the gym today in hopes that you would have a great race!
Good luck you’ll do AWESOME!!! Love that Bible verse
Have fun!!
Nice job out there today! I was the one screaming Skinny Runner at the 30K mark. You looked strong! Hope you enjoyed Boston.
I only wear high ponytails
Congrats on 3:26!!
You look awesome!! Good luck
You are AMAZING!!
I can’t believe that you crushed Boston after just running a windy, cold marathon. Let me tell you that you are so inspiring to this 40-something 4:20 marathoner!! (Am I as old as Jaybob?).
Seriously, I just love your style, love that you run with a full face of makeup and a high ponytail, I’m sure shocking the heck out of everyone around you when you cross the finish line at official “badass pace.” Congratulations!!
You did amazing! Congrats!
You are amazing!! Congratulations!!! I love your blog!!!
I felt like a total creep looking at your splits, but judging from the comments above I wasn’t the only one!
Way to go, SR!
unbelievable! 2 marathons within 48 hours!!! and awesome times! congratSSSS!
NICE WORK GIRL!
You are truly an inspiration! Not only are you able to run a marathon, but two in one weekend?!?!? WOW!
I hope to meet you some day. I mean you live in SoCal and so do I.
Keep kicking ass! You’re amazing!
You truly are amazing! Not only do you have the ability and desire to run marathons, but two in one weekend?!?! WOW!
You truly are an inspiration! I hope to meet you some day since we both live in Southern California.
Keep up the amazing work!
great job girlfreind! i cant believe you ran two so close together and SO fast! way to go!
I totally tracked you online today!
Nice kick at the end! Woo hoo!
Congrats, Sarah! I saw you just as you were about to cross the finish line and yelled “skinny runner!” Sooo pumped I spotted you! Have a fun night out in Boston!
GAH! I’m having severe anxiety over your crooked race bib! I seriously have to pin mine the night before and make it completely straight otherwise I can’t sleep. me = neurotic.
Great job on boston today. I’m just catching up on your blog, so I didn’t realize you were doing a double this weekend….. INSANE!
