Marathon

Monday was Patriot's Day also known as Boston Marathon day so I took the day off to hang out with Adam and check out the hoopla downtown. The whole Boston Marathon was pretty darned impressive. We had a pretty good view near the finish line, about a block from the end where we watched the Kenyans run effortlessly across the finish line. Then we watched all the other runner trickle and then stream in. Well, some people hobbled in. We saw a lady collapse a few hundred yards from the finish, a man go by on a gurney and there were apparently a couple of folks who had heart attacks. Two of my coworkers ran the marathon successfully and they mostly have sore muscles and some bad sunburns. We stood and watched at the finish line for about an hour or two which made us quite tired and hungry so we revived ourselves with ice cream, hot dogs and pizza.
