The marathon, baby!
What more could you ask for today -- beautiful weather for all the beautiful running people ... a new course record set ... no safety/security issues (Boston strong yo!) ... and no crazy traffic jams on LSD on the way out of town today to go have brunch with the family in Valpo Indiana.
I mean, more power to all of the participants and all of the cheerer-ons by the wayside, but I'm just enjoying the experience vicariously through all of the Facebook updates. And there were many of them. It seemed like if you were in/from the area and weren't running it (and congrats to Matty F, a former Kaplan employee who worked in the same center as I did, who did it for the 9th time, according to his FB status update), you were supporting someone who was. (Well, except for me, who was busy in the next state stuffing his face at an all-you-can-eat Sunday buffet ... but I did buy new walking sneakers afterwards for my own exercise routine, if that counts for anything.)
Anyway -- congrats to all for their outstanding achievements and congrats to a city that rallies together for such an outstanding event!
