First day in Boston

This is my second time in the city, the first on marathon weekend. I knew it'd be different, And even though most of the runners have not made it into town, you get a sense that something changes around there on this weekend.







Everywhere we went, i was spotting runners, those who were looking lean or fit or there was some slight quirk like the type of running shoes they were wearing. You could just tell.

And the jacket. I have seen Boston jackets but not in these numbers. It's like a freaking varsity letter (that what you call it?) that I felt a little odd in my Chicago 2006 jacket.

More to write I'm sure but I have been taking pictures and tweeting out little updates and pictures at twitter.com/yumke.

Random thoughts though
-expo is insane and I've been to other mega marathon expos. Running royalty everywhere, for instance I saw Bart Yasso, Katherine Switzer and Joan Benoit Samuelson within 20 feet of each other
-cannolis at Mike's Pastry was awesome
-picking up the bib was a cool 2 minutes
-I can't stop buying gear. Help me
