this is a picture from last year of someone who just finished the boston marathon! last year it was really hot that day, around 30C (90 F or something?), and i got tired just from walking a bit... :) imagine running 26.2 miles.....
tomorrow its time for the 117th boston marathon, and it wont be as hot as last year. it actually hasnt been warm at all this year yet, as opposed to last year, when we had a crazy hot day somewhere in march, and where april (i just looked at my pics from last year) was very nice too, from the beginning.. now its just gloomy, quite cold at times and rainy.....
in 2011, the fastest boston marathon was run; in 2 hours and 3 minutes....! im happy when i manage to run 3 miles without stopping, and even that i dont manage every time (i did, however, once run even 4 miles!), so im very certain i will never run a marathon... but its fun to watch, so perhaps i will stop by tomorrow and take some pics...

Nice portrait, could be here. We finally have reached the 20 C degrees this weekend!
i think i will never run a marathon.. but as we say in NL: all little bits help :)
That guy looks like an inspiration - he's already got more miles on him than most younger runners. But I can't say he's got me thinking about running. . .I'd be happy to do 26 miles just walking.
J'aime beaucoup...
Bonne semaine,
Pierre
