Day 53

Welcome to Boston! I am in town for the Boston Marathon. I am not running, but Tyler is. We arrived on Friday mid morning and it has been quite a trip so far. The hotel is more expensive than it was supposed to be, we are very far from downtown, public transportation is a nightmare, and the people are rude. That is the trip so far n a nutshell. Oh well, gotta press on! Thank goodness for Google Maps or we would be so damn lost. My training will be taking a little bit of a hit which is unfortunate because I have a race next week. I had to rearrange my week so that I could get most of my workouts in. By leaving Friday morning I am missing a key swim workout but as long as I can get to the pool for master swim on Wednesday I hope to stay on track.

Today Tyler and I ran the greenway here in Watertown. The greenway is short, but it's nice to be running somewhere else. You cross the Charles River twice and at one point you can see people in the river rowing. It immediately got me thinking about the Winklevoss brothers from the movie "The Social Network" It was really neat to see that people really take this sport seriously! It was also a nice change of scenery. Im pretty sure our greeenway in Greenville is pretty well flooded in parts. If I am ever in Boston again, this is something I would like to try out...

I am now off to spending the day at the Boston Expo and who knows what else is in store today...
