Post-race; Joseph looking good.
Sam and I completed our weeklong journey up the East Coast with a visit to Boston for the 114th Boston Marathon. We cheered on Joseph, who ran the race, and hung out with my brother, sister-in-law, and our friends, Greg and Jill. We also met up with our friend, Dick, and his significant other, Cheryl. They both ran "Boston" in the past and shared in Joseph's accomplishment, finishing the Boston Marathon.
As usual, Sam was a total trooper on the plane, on the trains, and in the car. The train (the "T") was packed with people trying to get to Fenway for the 11:05 AM start for the Red Sox and trying to get to the Finish of the marathon. Greg, Jill, Sam, and I tried to get to Heartbreak Hill to cheer on Joseph but the 2 nearest T Stations were full and we couldn't park our car. We ended up driving to a parking garage in Fanueil Hall and then taking the T to the finish, which was packed. We managed to find a spot to stand and cheer on the runners. It was lots of fun. We did not see Joseph finish, unfortunately. I set up my phone to receive text messages, indicating when he passed certain points along the course, but the messages never came through. So, for a 3rd marathon in a row, I did not get any pictures of Joseph on the course. We did meet up with him after the race for a post-race pic! Congrats to Joseph for running a great race! Thanks, Jill and Greg, for shlepping us around all weekend!
