		It's a hybrid with horns and wings and one foot." Dan Hunter, managing director of Boston Playwrights' Theatre at Boston University, is explaining the concept behind this Sunday's Second Annual Boston Theater Marathon.
		Last year's Marathon -- which supported the Boston Theater Benevolent Fund -- was a huge success, with some people sitting through the entire 10 hours for fear of losing their seats, even though ticketholders may leave and re-enter at any time during the day.
		Unlike its tarmac-trampling counterpart, the theater Marathon is a cooperative rather than a competitive event, one that will strengthen Boston's thespian community as audiences discover new companies, producers take note of new playwrights, and playwrights see their works realized.

	Boston Marathon
		With Boston being the last starter in April's annual marathon triad, there was a building tension born of the excellence preceding Patriot's Day.
		But the seeds planted in Boston's initial second-century field were every bit the equal of its European counterparts, and the forecasters were spinning the potential of ideal weather as well.
		The marathon wasn't about selling financial services, and if JH ever decided to get out of the marathon sponsorship game - or more specifically cancel its lucrative clinic program that supplies talent to the starting line - Boston would be right back where it was in those terrible mid-1980s.

	How do I train to qualify for the Boston Marathon?
		To qualify for the Boston marathon is a good goal that helps many runners stay motivated in their training.
		The reason relatively few people qualify for Boston is that relatively few have the discipline, determination, and opportunity to execute the plan.
		I expect that most runners will at least be able to run a half-marathon at the Boston qualifier pace once they are running 10 miles a day 5 days a week with one long run on the sixth.
