Home again

Back home last night. The trip from Boston was a long one. Up at 4:30, flight at 7:00, stop in Chicago, wait for an hour, stop in Seattle, wait for 3 hours, back to Vancouver 13 hours after leaving. Tobin was great but didn't sleep much. Here he is waving at the jets in Seattle. He REALLY loved watching the planes come and go.

Sniffing daffodils. We use the same hair dresser.

3:19 in Boston!!

Just back from the finish line where Ann-Marie ran a 3:19!! It was quite a sight and we actually managed to see her at the halfway point even though there were thousands of people filing by. Like watching Caribou migrate to their breeding grounds (except caribou don't usually wear Wonder Woman outfits or dress up like the Easter Bunny). Didn't get many pictures again, as I was mostly herding Tobin around a field and running back to look for Ann-Marie.

It's quite an accomplishment running this marathon, especially with such a good time. Apparently it's the most difficult course in the US. Now it's time to relax as this follows a really hard and dedicated winter of training in Revelstoke, snow, sleet, ice, rain... Not to mention a torn ACL (finally diagnosed two weeks ago).

Let's see 12859, 12860, 12861, 12862... Oh here it is 12863.

Uncle Bevil and Tobin

Ain't never been on a subway before....

This picture doesn't really do it justice, but there were a lot of people. Like 25,000.

Tobin and the ever present "Maggie"

Ann-Marie re-hydrating

First women runners - closest race in Boston history 2 seconds separated winner from second place 

First men: these guys were rocking out, lousy video but you get the idea of how freaking fast they were going!! The winner takes home $150k, so they have incentive. The guy who won it ran a 4:52 mile up the Newton hills, 18 miles into the race!!!! Good story here.

Ann-Marie taking a time out to hug Bevil at the halfway point.



Tobin scraping the barrel...mmmmm, peanut butter.

supper daddy

Didn't I just luck out in the most wonderful husband, daddy, sexy guy combo?!!!

Off to Boston

We leave for Boston on Thursday, the race is monday, starts 7:30 PDT. You can follow Ann-Marie here and by entering Ann-Marie's bib number, 12863 (not a prime number) you can follow her progress.
