Woke up to a beautiful morning and walked through the Boston Common. Superwes and 'Bent did a LOT of walking today. If I were doing a marathon tomorrow, I would have been more of a wimp.
I didn't realize it until I saw this photo, but Superwes is married to Sarah Jessica Parker!
'Bent and I did some Tree Hugging.
MyNextRace.com put on a Team Canada breakfast where we met up with Crash, Rocky and their family and friends.
I made some new American friends.
We went to see the finish area, and there was a buzz of excitement and activity - even today.
We ran into Harper Forbes at the race number pick-up. He and 'Bent are starting in the same corral.
Race shirts are nice - long-sleeved tech shirts.
We spent a couple of hours at the busy race expo.
There was some nice race clothing, but I didn't feel right buying it if I wasn't running, and 'Bent just isn't a very good shopper! Superwes bought a jacket, as did Rocky.
Then we went to Starbucks to spend some enjoyable time with my university friend and grad school housemate, Pete, who lives in Boston. I had a chance to come down the road and cross the finish line. For me, that'll be a "once in a lifetime" occurrence!
After another too-large dinner, the runners are ready to use gravity to their advantage in the downhill sections tomorrow. J-Ro and I will be learning the public transit system and tracking down our husbands (if we navigate well). I wouldn't want to attempt to drive a car around here.
Good luck to all!
