We totally lucked out with the weather for this year's #BostonMarathon ! It was a bit cool waiting to start, but perfect #running weather once we got going! We even had a gentle tail wind for much of the race. I had a fantastic run and beat my qualifying time by over 16 minutes. Couldn't be happier!
#Boston is such an amazing place to run--best crowd support anywhere! Well organized event as always. A bit sad to be returning to reality, ha ha!
Patriots Day
Today is a holiday in Massachusetts. Patriots Day. Did I get the day off from work? Nope. I live in Massachusetts and I work in Massachusetts but I did not get the day off.
The Red Sox played their annual Boston Marathon Monday 11:00am game. As the leaders were crossing the finish line I had a break between my nearly endless string of conferences calls that was long enough for me to put the game on the radio for a couple of innings.
The very first word I heard from the broadcast was, “disaster.” Uh oh. It was the third inning and Sonny Gray had just been pulled due to an injury. Disaster, indeed. Crud.
On one of my endless conference calls today a coworker from another group mentioned that she is about to go on a trip to Bermuda. I am so jealous. My parents went to Bermuda on their honeymoon. Based on that it’s practically required that I go someday, isn’t it? That’s how it works, right?
I don’t know… maybe I just need a nap.

Happy Patriots' Day folks. #PatriotsDay
Grrrr
251 years ago today the American Revolution began with a fight in Concord, MA that extended into a Colonial Militia harrassing a column of British troops in Lexington, MA. The shot heard ‘round the world, as it were.
That’s what happens when you piss off people from Massachusetts. Bank on it, mother fuckers.
I am so sick of seeing the nation that grew from that event in 1775 being run by fascists and pedophiles and criminals of all shapes and sizes. I am fucking sick of it.
I am so fucking mad I can’t even think straight anymore. Furious is way too polite a word.
