- I have returned from Boston and the trip can best be described in one word: AMAZING! The city was beautiful, the race was spectacular and I've definitely caught the fever... Beantown really knows how to put on a marathon!
- As ya'll can imagine, after being virtually unplugged for 6 days I am BEYOND behind on the reader... between getting caught up at work and putting together recaps, it's going to be awhile before I make my rounds.
- Speaking of Recaps, let's start with the Expo! This pic pretty much sums up Spike's view on it...
As for me, since it wasn't *my* Boston Marathon expo I dared not touch a thing. (Just call me superstitious) As for the expo itself, I gotta be honest, I wasn't entirely impressed. I thought it'd outshine Chicago's Expo by a long shot being THE Marathon and all but it didn't. Adidas definitely had a great set-up being the sponsor and even had a really cool display of Boston jackets through the years but overall I thought it was overcrowded and lackluster. Alas, Chicago has entirely spoiled me... but don't let me fool you too much, if it were *my* Boston Marathon expo I would surely have bought every single item in sight. :)
The real highlight for me of the expo was meeting up with 2 of my favorite bloggers; Ron of Punk Rock Tri Guy & Ally (my fellow Operation Jack runner/supporter and red headed sista from Texas) of The Shabby Princess
I love his hair. :)
I was more than a little excited I was taller than her! LOL!
Alright ya'll, MUST get to it. Will have more later!
HAPPY EARTH DAY!

LOL!! I think I still would have bought something, hard to pass up..
You are so stinkin CUTE!! If we ever pose for a picture together I think I will need you to stand on a curb to make me look less Amazonian.
Can't wait for all the recaps... Hugs!!
Really? No "Thanks to Mother Earth" on Three Things Thursday? Sheesh.
:-)
Happy Earth Day Morgan!
That's cool that you got to go to Boston to cheer on Spike!
I can't wait to check out the expo in Chicago. I have high expectations of this race!
His hair is crazy :) Love your shirt!
SOOOOO jealous you met the Punk Rock and the Little one. But glad you are back!
Love Spike's take on the Expo ;) ha, and the blogger meet ups! SO fun. I'm not surprised at all the Chi-town spoiled you so much, but when it is YOUR boston, I'm sure it will be just as fun!
p.s. you missed a little transition of mine - just in case you don't recognize the new URL/blog ;) - formerly known as T.o.T. heh
Welcome back! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip.
I get what you say about being superstitious. I dont have it as a goal to run Boston one day but I feel strange wearing gear from marathons i haven't ran in. I have a hat for a marathon that is a great hat, perfect for running, but i just don;t wear it because I didn't run it. I know, kinda lame, but still... It's like I didn't earn that hat, you know? But I did earn my Surf City marathon tech shirt, which I'm wearing right now!
I was hoping we would hear from you soon! So glad you had a wonderful time.
TOo bad about the expo being somewhat disappointing... it was my first time being at ANY massive expo, so I felt like a kid in a candy store. ;)
Glad you had an amazing time. I am looking forward to the day I read a recap of you running Boston! For now, the other recaps will do. Can't wait!!
Glad your back safe and sound! Can't wait to hear all about it!
AHHHHHHHHHHH cannot wait for boston next year!!!!!!!!!!!!
cannot wait for your recap too!!!! glad you had such an amazing time :)
that pole has a name, and feelings, and we shared a moment together that will last forever...I just can't remember its name right now.
Spike is so funny! His picture - his comment. I'm still laughing!
Great meet ups. Yeah you are taller! And so cute! You don't ever take a bad picture!
Happy Earth Day!
Glad you had a great time girlie! Cant wait to read your recaps!!!! :) Come back to MI and run with me!!!!
So glad you had an awesome trip! Looking forward to reading more.

Welcome home, friend. See you Saturday for Run for the Trees? We're headed to meet up with in-laws at WDW after that, or I'd say let's chow after race. Next time? Will see you though? Meeting up w/ another blogger there, too.
Sounds like great time in Boston!
HUGS,
robin/turtle runner/virtual mama!
i love how schmoops is humping the marathon pole. :) you guys must've been there extremely early for there to be no one else swarming the place.
i planted some grass at work today for earth day. as in... i threw down a handful of seed. then i was thinking man i should totally take a bag home everyday so i can re-seed my real front yard back in SC.
i hope you are recovering from the post-trip blues! i know i am struggling still myself.
Considering I only live an hour North of Boston I really should have come down to see the Expo at least. It's funny I was a rower in College, so to me the Marathon was a bit of an inconvenience (although really cool to go watch). Now that I'm a runner, it seems to be THE big event.
If I were Spike I would probably do the same thing to that sign...or maybe hug it and cry for joy...
Glad you had a great time!!!
HAHAHA That picture of spike is awesome.
If I had a dollar for every picture that I had of me humping something......
You think you're bad about catching up on your reader. I'm just now getting to this post! Haha.... way to go Spike! Hump away on that pole!
