Exciting day in the extended LHR household today: my son is running in his 1st Boston Marathon. He qualified last year in Eugene, OR, and is joining a high-school buddy (who is currently serving our great nation in the Air Force Special Forces) in the race today. Neither are attempting to blow out a personal best time, but they're (idjuts) who just want to casually run 26.2 miles ... just for fun.
That's not really MY idea of fun, but I'm proud of the lad(s) for setting a goal and achieving it.
