boston














last weekend tyler and i headed to boston. tyler ran the boston marathon. tyler did awesome running, it was a chance of a life time. there were around 25000 runner, the entire 26.2 miles was lined with spectators cheering the runners on. tyler said people were handing out drink, sunscreen, powerbars and all sorts of snacks to the runner, and some people even have there front doors open so the runners could run in to go to the bathroom. there is a part in the race called heartbreak hill, that is where we to watch. it is at about mile 19- 22 and its a pretty good climb. when we saw tyler there he looked pretty tired, but we refueled him with a banana and a babyruth and he was back on his way and finished off strong. way to go tyler you did awesome. while we were in boston we stayed with our friends the watts, we had a lot of fun with them and
they were so nice to show us around. one night we went to a pastry shop called mikes pasteries and i think we consumed our calorie intake for the next month in that one night. they had the best elcaires and shortcake we all went home sick from eating too much. we were also able to hang around with tylers uncle and aunt jason and shelly, they were a lot of fun to be with. all in all we had a great time and slept really good at night from being on the go all day. but the best part of all for me was just being able to spend time with tyler.
