Today is Monday April 17th! That means it’s Marathon Monday! And we are just about an hour from the start of the 2023 Boston Marathon.

In honor of this special day, I’m sharing a clip from Boston Local, Runner, and Harvard Professor known for his research on the evolution of the human body and the biomechanics of barefoot running - Dr. Daniel E Lieberman.

In this clip we will cover how running represents the concept of community like no other sport - especially at big city marathons including - and specifically Boston since the bombing, and what he thinks is so special about this specific 26.2 distance.

The marathon really is a special experience and something to celebrate as a runner and as part of the community. There is nothing like the Boston marathon. From the elite athletes to the incredible volunteers, and supportive city.

Congrats to everyone who is running today - don’t forget you qualified to be a part of this day and that is already the accomplishment. It’s party time! LFG :)

Keep running, keep inspiring, and keep sharing how maybe running will help.

Have a great run everybody!
