Just a quick update as I'm typing on my phone and I don't do well with these tiny keys. Anyway, I got to Boston this afternoon. On the walk from the hotel through the cobblestone streets of the Beacon Hill neighborhood, I stumbled upon "The Bull and Finch Pub" aka Cheers. Although, I did not see Sam Malone tending bar, I did drink a Sam Adams 26.2 beer, the official beer of the Boston Marathon!

Eventually, I made it to the Expo. Got my bib and shirt. The expo is basically in front of the finish line, so I got a pic.

| Hopefully I'll be doing this on Monday afternoon! |
That's about all for now. I need to get off my feet! :-)
get some rest, and can't wait to hear all the details!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great race!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I visited my best friend Vera (aka my coach) in Boston a couple years ago, I went out for a run to explore Boston ... and I too randomly ended up by Cheers.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on Monday!!
Good luck! Cheers was rather under thrilling in my opinion, kind of more like a greasy spoon.
ReplyDeleteI went there a long time ago with my dad. Thought the food was alright- I was too young to fully appreciate Cheers ;)
ReplyDeleteHow was the Sam Adams 26.2? Have a wonderful race tomorrow! Good luck!
Good luck tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHave a good one!
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow! You are going to rock the marathon :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great time tomorrow, Pete......I'll be out there by the fire station in Newton on the corner of Comm Ave, cheering like crazy!
ReplyDeleteHope you are safe - and recovering safely from your finish. No words for the sad situation.
