Marathon Monday!
That really wasn't much of a post yesterday.
I went with a couple fellow GCS students to see the Boston Marathon today. Even though I went to Wellesley, which is famous for its "Scream Tunnel," I've never actually watched the marathon. I always took advantage of Marathon Monday to sleep in.
It was fun, but I was miserable just standing around--I can't imagine running in that heat, no matter how great a shape one might be in. It's April! I feel like a polar bear, edged toward extinction by global warming....
Since I think I could only bore you further if I went on, here's some links from around the web:
