Another day at the Boston Marathon. Weather more like 2 years ago, suns out cool breeze, felt like the first spring day. It was pretty exciting, lots of people out as usual. Not as much hohum about the bombings which was nice it seems like we have moved on and moved back to what made the marathon so special in the first place. Thats really the point in the end. Being out in the sun all day roasted me I didnt realize how sunny it was. Saw lots of great runners run by, got to see Phil. It seemed like the weather was effecting people though they looked really burnt out at 25 mile mark. CKells had to roll out a little bit early, so we went back to the dorm then walked all the way up Beacon to Arlington, then Meghan and I walked all the way back past the start line, which was cool I havnt really been down there before it was cool to see that. Then I grabbed my stuff and headed out again and walked all the way back to Park. Lots of walking in the end, ankle felt good but legs started feeling shot. Pretty tired when I got to South Station. Walking through Boston Commons at the end of the race we pretty cool though, everyone was out just enjoying the weather together in the middle of this big city... Something you dont see or feel a lot these days. Relaxed on the bus ride home, now its back to the grind and to running. This week may be transitional but that 5k is still the weekend, want to go in and just have fun. See how my ankle feels up to the race. In the end it doesnt matter because it aint anything like what all those runners had to go through in the 26.2.
