Now in its 119th year, the Boston Marathon (April 20) has become so much more than a race. As anyone who has been in Boston during the marathon can tell you, it's incredible to see how the city comes together to host this inspiring event. Two years after the tragic Boston Marathon bombings, the sense of #BostonStrong permeates through every city street, building, and person; it's hard not to become emotional when there.
Even if you can't make it to Boston to participate as a runner or spectator, you can still watch the awesome feat of athleticism from your own home. Be forewarned: after watching, it's likely you'll be inspired to start training for a marathon of your own.
