So the Boston Marathon was last Monday, and I went because it was Patriot’s Day and we had no school, and also I wanted to watch it. Here are some pictures of the elite finishers!

| Geoffrey Mutai won for the men and broke the world record but they aren't awarding it to him because of a tail wind... this was his time as he passed us |

| Not running... |
Unfortunately my camera died before all the “normal” people ran by. That was fun to watch because all kinds of people ran it for all kinds of different reasons. The spirit of the event really made it worthwhile.
Also, I figured in light of the Boston marathon, now would be an appropriate time to announce this… I’m running a marathon! On June 18th. My goal is to run a 3:40 and qualify for the Boston Marathon next year; we’ll see how it goes!
You can do it Em! SO exciting!
