BOSTON BOUND

This one's for my sister who will be running the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 20, 2009. My little sister did her first mini-marathon in 2004 in Indianapolis and has been non-stop since. She's run marathons and 50 mile cross country races all over the United States. Qualifying for Boston was a big goal for her and I'm outrageously proud of her. A couple of years ago she was chosen as an alternate for the Blue Planet Run, an organized global run to promote awareness of the need for clean drinking water.

So she's not just a good runner. She's a good person who's a good runner.

Kev says he's her biggest fan. He supports the racing scene by frequenting the various food vendors who congregate at these venues. He's been known to get so excited when she crosses the line at Indianapolis's Mini that he throws both hands into the air, dousing bystanders with Pepsi and the guts of a gyro in one fell swoop.

The weather forecast for Monday is mid 40s and cloudy which should make for good running conditions. (this from the woman who wouldn't walk across the parking lot to the mailbox on a damp April day in the 40s)
