I just came across a couple interesting videos on YouTube. This one provides a view from the start of this year’s Boston Marathon. Notice how everyone is bundled up and in rain ponchos. Luckily, the weather would improve a short while later. Also, notice what the volunteers had to deal with once all the runners were off and running. They did a great job, especially in those conditions.

This one is an interview with a student from Wellesley College. Wellesley College an all-female college that is at the half-way (13.1-mile) point of the race, and the tradition is for some of the young women to offer kisses to those running the race. The young lady being interviewed in the video said that she had kissed thirteen runners up until that point. She looks like she’s having fun.
