dinner on Saturday night in Middletown, NY after about 9 hours of pretty easy driving..fun waiter, Matt, brought us gourmet chocolates from his other business for dessert..
arrived in Boston about noon and met Liz Pepper from Women's Quest for lunch..she lives in New Hampshire--about an hour and a half away..she took us on a tour of where she grew up--Wellesley, MA, and also showed us the best viewing places for the marathon..great fun..
marathon morning..looking a little nervous, but as ready as possible to face the 88 degree forecast..we just happened to run into a guy who volunteered to take him to Hopkinton, instead of riding the 6:30 am bus..you could feel steve's relief! beautiful day for anything accept running a marathon!
not a great pic, but here he is post race, minutes after seeing kathleen and seconds before the tears began to flow..it was such a grueling experience, one he will never forget, and one i hope he is proud of to his dying day--a feat of strength, perseverance and mental fortitude..
sunburned on the outside, not sure what he is feeling today on the inside, other than happy to have it over, happy to have had some family time, and happy to reflect with his love on the train home..
Way to go, dear son.
