Lunch run w/ Darin. Felt pretty good -- feet felt OK (the blister in the middle of the ball of my right foot doesn't hurt much with shoes on!)

39 F, 5MPH E

AP: 7:15

Does anyone know anyone going to the Boston Marathon this year who would like a roommate? I have a room reserved, but it is a lot of $$$ for me to pay for the whole room alone -- I'd be willing to share my room, or give up my room and share someone else's. My wife would prefer that my roommate be a nice man...but I'm flexible.

Take your wife! You'll both love it.

Nice run.

From Kathie on Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 16:04:41 from 63.248.105.188

I wish I knew some body for you, but really you could take your wife. (I know will your boys that is harder than it sounds)

From MarcE on Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 16:42:54 from 206.225.68.76

Smooth -- thanks!

Mark-O -- yes you will!

Rhett/Kathie - my wife can't go this year, as the marathon is always on prom weekend -- not about to leave our daughter alone on prom weekend. She graduates this year, so, if I go back again next year, she said she'd like to go.

Wish I could help.
