| Boston Marathon!
Made the trip, finally!! Driving from Indiana, was a 15 hour drive. Definitely a journey to get to the start line. The wife and I and the 3 and 5 year old piled in the family car and started driving on Friday afternoon. Got to Boston Saturday afternoon. Checked into the Bostonian ($500/night - what a rip off!), whic we discovered was a tiny room, with no frig, microwave, or avaialbel ice machine. terrible hotel. Valet parking was required and cost $51/night.
I'll just stick to the running portion of the story: I came to Boston in no kind of shape for running a decent marathon. The weeks preceding were my hjighest mileage weeks, and were 60 mile weeks. Showed up knowing the race was to be an experience, rather than a race. IT was every bit of the spectacle I had heard about. Wellsley girls, Boylston St., all the people, the hills, heartbreak hill, etc. A great experience. I struggled to keep the 7:15 pace as planned, but, no matter. I experienced Boston.

| easy jog at Niagara Falls and then walking around the State Park.
Niagara Falls itself is very cool. The hotel and area of facilitues with all the tourists traps was nasty and dirty. Don't recommend staying at the Holiday Inn for anyone interested in cleanliness in a hotel room. I don't think we caught anything...
Drove the rest of the 8 hours on home througout the rest of the day. Lot of driving and car time with the family.
