Getting here was a freaking debacle. Our flight left at 11pm last night and we finally landed in Boston at 1pm today. We were totally exhausted and so naturally we went and did our package pickup (getting lost along the way) and I ended up having a 'moment' in Trader Joe's.
Other than that, the people are as incredibly friendly as they always are (a woman on the subway asked if we were running on Monday and when we said yes she informed us she was a volunteer, wished us good luck and said she hoped to see us on Monday. Complete stranger.). It is cold and raining so I hope to hell that changes otherwise I will be wearing the commemorative Boston hoodie that I bought today during the damn race.
We're staying in the South End this time around, in a brownstone B&B. Some of the other occupants seem to exhibit that joyful "who gives a fuck about how my noise level impacts others" which could prove to be interesting/lead to bloodshed.
No idea what we are doing tomorrow.
Namely because I really don't even know what bloody day it is.
Those noisy people are probably just rude out-of-towners from Nova Scotia, you can take them out, or you can pay them back after the race with loud celebrations. Good Luck in the race!
ReplyDeleteNah, they're probably from Toronto - folks from Nova Scotia have the good sense to know they aren't the centre of the universe! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut I totally agree with paying them back with super loud celebrations (whatever form those might take) and showing them how we do it on the west coast. The amateurs.
Anyway...kick some butt tomorrow! I'll be watching and trying to see if I can pick you and M. out (I love my needle in a haystack games...).
Thanks! Just heading out for some dinner and then early to bed as the buses start at 6am tomorrow morning.
