Run the Boston Marathon - Adding to THE LIST

Boston 5k x 5. But don't worry, I'll still come in first.

This is how it will go:

Start line: Alright Audrey, this is it. Jump around, stretch your legs, make it look like you know what you're doing here. Oh hey look, a cute boy! Bring it on, handsome, I bet I can run faster than you!

Mile 2: If this were a normal run, I would be within eyesight of BerryLine Yogurt by now...

Mile 10: Damn, where'd that boy go? All I can see is a sea of old, sweaty men.

Mile 20 (heartbreak hill): Look at... all... those... people... (heavy, exhausted breathing...) cheering. This must be a mirage - they're handing out beers!

Mile 26: I can see the light!

Mile 26.2 (3.5 hours later. It's a lofty goal, I know): Give me my shiny foil blanket, I finished the race!

"It was all worth it for the alien costume."
