"The first thing I'm going to eat is a chicken sandwich."
When you’re trying for a marathon, one of the things that keep going is imagining what it will be like to finally reach your goal and cross the finish line.
For some marathoners, the ideal post-race activity is a nice shower and a long nap. Others are looking forward to cheering on their accomplishments with friends and loved ones at a local bar. Luckily for Boston Marathon runners, the city of Boston makes it easy to find ways to celebrate after the race.
