We're not surprised that we're jonesing to go on a run right now -- after all, we just watched both Rita Jeptoo and Meb Keflezighi break personal records along the 26.2-mile course at today's running of the Boston Marathon. (Check out all the photo highlights from the race here.) While we won't be racking up sub-five-minute miles anytime soon -- or even qualify to run Boston -- we feel the need to get in on the action. Here, three sneaks that celebrate today's 118th Boston Marathon -- so you can celebrate your next 500 miles on the road, too.

- adidas Energy Boost: An official sponsor of today's race, Adidas not only created the official apparel for race day, but also launched the #weallrunboston campaign -- a program which we totally support in advance of the Boston Marathon. And this pair of adidas Energy Boosts, pictured above, don the Twitter handles of those who participated and were worn exclusively by TODAY show host Natalie Morales for the race. While you can't score that exact pair (major sad face, we know), you can find one similar -- the Boosts are quality, editor-approved running shoes.

- NewBalance 890v4 and 990v3: Since New Balance is a Beantown-based company, we're not surprised the label feels such love for this race and its runners. To celebrate this year's race, they've released limited-edition versions of both the 890v4, $125, and the 990v3, $175, sneakers -- two of their most popular models. Hidden on the shoe are things like New Balance's hashtag for the race, #LoveBoston and a map of Massachusetts, with Boston starred on it.

- Nike Free 5.0 Boston 2014: From April 18 to 21 (THAT'S TODAY, PEOPLE), Nike is supporting the Challenged Athletes Foundation through the #strongereveryrun campaign, and we figure you'll look way cool logging that distance in either the Free 5.0 Boston 2014, $125, a standout racer in white and neon green. Lace up fast and turn on your Nike+ Running App: Pledge your miles to remember athletes affected by last year's tragedy; Nike will contribute one dollar to CAF for each mile ran. So, you ready to crush that 4-mile training run now?
