So this last week, Dani and I ran the Boston Marathon! It was such a neat experience! I absolutly loved it! There are about 30,000 people who run the race. That is a ton of people! On top of that, there are thousands of people cheering for you along the way. There is hardly ever a spot in the race that there isn't someone cheering for you. It is amazing the patriotism this city has for Boston and the marathon runners! I loved their energy and love for the runners! So many people would yell to me, "you go blue shirt!" (I was wearing a blue tanktop) "your HOT.. keep running!" "you gotta run hada and fasta!" (now this is to be said in a Boston accent where they don't pronounce their 'er' sounds. The fans were screaming their lungs out to cheer you on! So many people cheering for you! It is very inspiring! My personal favorite was this guy that was telling his friend to cheer by saying.. "Just cheer for them.. they are running to frickin BOSTON!"
Before the race, dani and I did a little sight seeing. Boston is a really cool city!
And then the fun part.. so my parents came down to cheer for us and little did we know that our sister Rachelle was coming too! She totally surprised us and came to cheer for us! Love you guys! It was awesome to have them there supporting us!
Here we are ready to go the morning of the race!
After the race with our medal and space blanket! My legs were so sore! I had two goals for this marathon... to make it under 4 hours and to not walk. I barely made both! I made it in 3:56 and some places on the course it took everything out of me to not stop and walk. My legs were killing me by mile 22 and I was hurting really bad!
The dream team cheered us on! You are the bEST!
After the race, we took a little Duck Tour. This was a bus on wheels that took us around the city, but then it turned into a boat and drove us on the Charles River!
Funny Bus saying..
Then we decided to take alittle tour to New York!
..and... spencer decided to join us! He doesn't like taking goofy pictures.. so I initiated him into the Bradshaw way by introducing him to the "funny faces" we like to do!
Times Square!
Walkin the Brooklyn Bridge!
