Boston Marathon!

A quick trip to the library today turned into several hours of prowling and growling in Copley Square which appears to be either the end point or a refueling area for the Boston Marathon on monday. Sadly i have class and work to do so i won't be out cheering the newbies on but i'll try to keep track of the runners online. Bleachers and spectator bridges are being erected all along the roads and several ginormous tents are up in front of Trinity Church. Lots of sponsors were already out enforce with their swag. And i'm not one to say no to free stuff! So i wandered around the square collecting Adidas dog tags and Saturn keychains and all manner of things to collect dust. There were a lot of people milling about wearing gear from previous marathons. I'm aiming to be in good enough shape to run it next year but for now i've got my eyes set on the easier half marathons that occur all around the city in the coming months.
