Tomorrow, April 17th, I will run the Boston Marathon for the 2nd time.  This will be my 6th marathon and I am excited and nervous.  While work achievements in business and science have always been important and something that I excel in, personal and family achievements are also important.  Qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon is one of the awesome things that I have accomplished in my personal life.  It is a huge bucket list item.  It is  As one of the top marathons in the world and difficult to get into.
