Boston Marathon
[pretty day for running]
Sam and I had today off work/teaching for Patriot's Day, a handy MA holiday that coincides with the Boston marathon. We decided to take the train and see a movie, and when we reached the train stop, low and behold, runners. Runners and runners and more runners, and a crowd lining the streets cheering them on. For some reason, I found this incredibly moving. I thought I would weep, right there. So many people doing this really hard thing, so many other people there to say bravo. It was just beautiful. I took my camara, so you could see:
[church, runners]
[can you see how many there are? crossing the street was like playing frogger.]
[sam + book (he wasn't feeling picture-y)]
[a few blocks from our place, 2 miles from the finish line]
[train coming]
[dapper, no?]

sorry for the super-long quote. i just love that you loved watching it. i'll be running a half this saturday if you want to come out and watch me... (:
And just in case you're wondering, no I will not be running any marathons anytime soon. In fact, unless something in my brain dramatically alters my opinions of such activities (midlife crisis perhaps), I hope to never engage in a half-marathon ever again, let alone a marathon. But bravo, bravo, for those people who do.
Love the pics of Sam. Such a character.
like just now. (:
i wonder how long it will last...
