Makers and Marathoners
Today is the 117th running of the Boston Marathon on Patriot’s Day. More than 27,000 people entered the race. The Boston Marathon is the nation’s first and most prestigious marathon, but now there are over 3,000 such marathons world wide. There are more people running marathons today than ever before. I’ve been studying the marathon, exploring possible parallels to the growing maker movement. While not everybody will be a marathoner or a maker, more and more people are choosing to do something that is not easy to do, and finding it a rewarding personal accomplishment.
