The training is done. Other than three miles here or four miles there, all there is left for Jess Gillman to do is run 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boylston Street in Boston on Patriots’ Day.
Gillman, a 33-year-old working mom from Colorado, has let us follow along on her road to the Boston Marathon. So often we get to talk with professional or sub-elite runners about their training; this was an opportunity to hear how someone who doesn’t live and breathe running fits it into their life, someone who loves running, but has other priorities and responsibilities in life to juggle.
In our final catch-up before the race, Gillman shared how her taper is going, her plans to keep her kids entertained in Boston while trying to stay mostly off her feet, and what she’s most excited about for the race.
