4/18/11

I turned 31. I went to the Boston Marathon for the first time. I had beers with my friends. I twisted my ankle near the Hynes Convention Center t stop and it still hurts 3 days later. I cheered for some runners. I went to trivia at Bull McCabe's with Josh and Jess (our team name was Happy Birthday Nipplecakes, which was Ian's happy birthday greeting to me on facebook earlier in the day). It was a fun and exhausting birthday. I couldn't decide on a picture, so here are a few from 4/18.


This is about 4 hrs and 15 min into the marathon. The winners had already won, and these runners only had about a mile to go. At this point, I was on the wrong side of the street and had to go underground to cross then fight the Sox and marathon foot traffic going in the opposite direction to get to my friends who were less than a block away. It took over an hour to walk that half block.


At the bar - many strangers, many friends.


We stopped to take a few pictures and cheer on our 1 mile walk to the finish line.


Coll picked me a flower. I still have squished up petals in my bag.


I had to crop a guy's big fat head out of this picture, he walked directly into the shot. And that's it for 4/18! Here's to a great year in photos.
