I did not want to get up this morning. The bed was so cozy in our AirBnb and I could already hear the rain outside. I knew we needed to go though so I helped pack up and get downtown. The rain was heavy, and it was chilly and it looked like it wasnt letting up. We got absolutely soaked just walking around well before any runners showed up. Got a break at brunch and in after the first group went by, but other than that, it was just standing out there and getting poured on. It was miserable, but it was also Boston, so it didnt matter that much. When the real strong rain came, every one started yelling louder and the runners picked it up a little bit more. It was cool to see. Glad I got to cheer on friends with friends. We didnt make it as long was we usually do. I was soaked to the bone. Changed clothes and then walked Back Bay to Boston Commons with CKells. The rain didnt stop, it was coming hard in waves. My spare pants got drenched though that, which was awful because I had a long bus ride home. This is gonna be a legendary Boston that people will talk about in the future. Honestly, I have been to so many now it felt routine. I still understand its a special occasion and should appreciate the runners and going out to watch. I have felt caught up so much lately its harder for me to slow down and notice that, but its no less important. Another good road trip in the books.
