One of my favoritest traditions in Boston is cheering on the runners of the Boston Marathon. There is something inspiring about people running a crazy amount of miles through this amazing city I live in. Our favorite spot is at mile marker 19 in Newton, MA just before the runners begin their trek up "Heartbreak Hill." The runners are pretty tired by mile 19 and I can only imagine the dread and fear that enters peoples minds when they get to climb a huge hill after 20 miles of running.

Christian hasn't been able to join us the last two years, but it just so happened that he has Passover Break this week and we all got to go cheer on the athletes together.

The first men we see running, they got to mile 19 around 1 1/2 hours (crazy)! Our American Hero, Ryan Hall was in the top 5 when he passed us, he was looking so good!
The first women runners where making pretty decent time as well. I noticed a theme this year with people wearing bright colored shoes. I even saw 3 people running barefoot.

Berke had a great time at the Marathon, he cheered on a few runners, but mostly he just played with one of his favorite pals, Noah. Noah is an 11 year old boy in our church that Berke loves to beat up, and pretty much anything Noah does makes Berke laugh. Berkeley was Noah's little shadow; Noah was a good sport and let him follow him around without complaining. They really are two peas in a pod.
