Today's photos are courtesy of my friend John. Knowing it was going to be a great photo op day, my camera called it quits and died after taking a tumble out of my backpack. As a result, I am actually in this photo. I am not the lady in the warm black pants and sun glasses. Cheering on the runners at mile 16 on the Newton/Wellesley border has been a tradition of ours now for many years.

I enjoyed the race when I lived there. Looks like it was favorable weather for the runners.
Yes I can tell that those must be very, very warm pants.
So sorry about your camera but thanks for the memories.

Then the one next to her?
Mo, I'm definitely not one of the runners, so yes, the one next to her.
Thanks for visiting.
Lois Anne watched the whole thing on the computer! That's one race she has always wanted to do...almost made it a few years ago. She's run the Disney and NYC marathons, but Boston's special.
We had a surprise yesterday, in that we discovered she still holds the Florida state record for the 5K in her age group - achieved that about 4-5 years ago!
But, she's not racing anymore - just running!
Congratulations Lois Anne! You must be in terrific shape. 5Ks mean that you have to be real quick. I'm glad to hear that you are still running. Let me tell you though, that if you were to stand and watch the parade in person, you would be sorely tempted to do it. It does have a mysterious pull. Today, despite my aches and pains, when I was reading all the follow up stories in the paper, I too became tempted...
I recognise Kosgei, I'm a big fan of Track & Field so I have seen her in a few events over the last year or so.
