This afternoon, I popped out to the street to see my friend Adam running in the marathon. I didn’t get a glimpse of Adam, but the event was spectacular. I was at about the 18th mile mark, so there were runners who were catching their breath and slowing down; others who started to pick up their pace. A few couples walking and talking. Achilles Track Club members were assisting disabled athletes. One man was running barefoot! And an Italian family was cheering “Italia” every time an Italian runner ran by. A father sported a cape and a sign (loneliestroad.org) to promote awareness of the disease neuroblastoma.

I didn’t see Adam, but it was truly inspiring to see the collection of runners. Bravo to all!
