I'm in Vegas today for a training on how to do my new job. There is a test at the end that if I don't pass I guess I go back to my old job.

20 minutes on the elliptical trainer followed by 5 miles on the treadmill.

Hey Rob, I was wondering if you, or anyone else on here, knows where my family and I should try and stay in Boston for the marathon? I appreciate any thoughts you have.

thanks

Hey James, I'm not sure I have a great answer for you. It would be nice to stay right downtown by the finish line in Copley Square but those hotels are expensive. The entire town is pretty much focused on the Marathon that weekend and public transportation works well. Unless it gets shut down. I stayed with 7 other guys in a house that some family rented us just for the weekend, which was a blast. So I'm not sure the "best" place to stay. Since your family will be there I would probably try to find something close to the finish line so they can walk to find you.

Good luck.
