I Can Definitely Be Thankful...

... that I'm not running in the 111th Boston Marathon. What an absolutely miserable day for the race - a cold, rainy day, with sections of the course under water and 50 mph head- and crosswinds. Yow. Gotta give the folks who are running today a lot of credit... especially the back-of-the-pack runners who will be out there for 2-3 hours longer than the elite athletes. Go, guys, go!

Of course, I've done races under similar conditions... but not a marathon! I can only hope for better weather when I do my marathons this year.
