  • Look at the Fun we had at the Boston Marathon!

    What he did – It was a cool morning for the Boston Marathon. Stephen was up and out the door by 5:45 in order to get on the T and get on the charter bus to the start line. What I did – Since I was training for a half marathon, I got up and did a 7 mile “long run” from our place along the Charles River Esplanades. Here are some of the sites: After the run, I grabbed the T and headed toward Brookline to cheer for my favorite runner. Here he is at mile 24 – still going strong.
