 They call me the devil because I make them go through hell to prepare because unless you prepare the marathon itself can be really ugly. This group of runners, called Charity Teams, is training for the Boston Marathon by doing long runs, mid-distance runs, and hill runs throughout the week. Their runs can be anywhere from five to 18 miles long. It's kind of grueling, especially out in the winter, especially this winter with whatever hundred inches of snow that we've gotten and getting out there every Saturday morning for a long run, whether it be slushy or snowy or icy, just getting your miles in. You just have to be dedicated to the process. This unique organization allows each of its runners to raise money for any charity of their choosing. The team is composed of veterans and rookies. I've become really close with some other first-time marathoners, so it's been really good and the veterans have been amazing with their advice. But this won't be my last Boston, that's for sure. So fulfilling to see a lot of these people is their bucket list. They've never really run much before in their lives, they just want to do it one time and to see someone go from zero miles a week up to 26 miles on April 20. It's very fulfilling and I've always wanted to coach and I get as much out of it as they do. It's a lot of fun. This year Charity Teams will be comprised of over 100 different members raising money for all different types of causes. It takes place April 20th. Reporting for BUTV, I'm Alessandra Andola in Boston.
