The 111th Boston Marathon took place today, despite of very stormy weather conditions. Shoud I have been the event organizer, I would have just cancelled the whole thing. The same wind that prevented planes from landing to Logan Airport kept steadily pushing soaked and hypothermic athletes past my living-room window. As our house is not far from the goal, most of the runners I saw were not running but awkwardly limping and looking like they badly needed the loo, while it seemed that others had used the loo in their own pants already. My muscles are still aching from a 5 mile walk yesterday. I wonder what brings a person to Boston to run 26 miles and 385 yards in heavy rain. That there are tents filled with bagels at the Finish is only one explanation... This is a Marathon picture taken two years ago.
