Run Boston Run

So...we got to go to Boston to see my dad-o run the Boston Marathon. (See post: "Conneticut or Bust" where he qualified in October). The sibs all went, plus Brianne. This particular post is about the race itself.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- We got to see my dad twice and got to run with him part of the way. (We ran a chunk of Heartbreak Hill together!)

- We had Becky with us and we found our cousin Melissa and her fam and got to sit by them and watch too.

- No one was trampled to death in the crowds.

LOWLIGHTS:

- My pops got severe leg cramps around mile 17. Made for an excruciating last third of the race. But he stayed strong cause he's my dad and he's tough!
