Marathon Monday

It's Marathon Monday! The magical day in Boston where we are burst at the seams with tourists, and everyone who works in the city gets the day off.....except me. I'm at work. But - considering I live in RI right now, it's not so bad. It gives me an excuse to get into the city and be part of the excitement, whereas if I was home in Cranston I would have dedicated the day to blueberry muffins and Netflix. So somehow this works.

This year I'm more excited than the marathon than usual because I'm actually a runner now! (gasp!) I am not a 26.2 mile runner, but I did participate in yesterday's BAA 5k!


Yay me! And finished in only 31:51, which is only 2 seconds later than my best time (31:49 for you non-math people) and - considering it was uphill far more than I am used to - isn't too shabby :)

And what did Tessie do while I was doing this, you ask?

Nada.

She stayed home with Grandma (and Grampa Tom) while I was in the city for the weekend. But don't feel too bad for her. When I got home I made sure she got a piece of the glory:


We're planning to do a doggy 5k this summer, even if we have to walk it. Afterall, she's my original running buddy!
