"Finishing" early: Saturday's visit to Copley Square.
A word to the wise.
What Theo thinks about all this!
Race day dawns cold and rainy - so Harry has to "gear" up for the event. Matt takes him to Hopkinton - and then Matt, Eliza, Theo and I get ready to "follow the road."
Theo is enjoying his Hertz Rent A Car Seat!
"Wind? What wind?" At Newton - the 17 mile mark.
A quick hug and Harry goes back to the race, and we get back in the car and head for Boston and the real finish.
Greeting Grandpa at the Marriott lobby in Boston - our friend Terry had a room there, so we chose that as our meeting place - it was still very chilly outside!
Just before we got to the Marriott in Boston, the smoke alarms went off - in error apparently - but it shut down the elevators! Here Terry and Harry share war stories. Terry's time was 3:32, Harry's was 4:00 - pretty good times considering the weather conditions - and Harry's time was better than last year - actually his 2nd best Boston time.
After a warm shower at Terry's place, and a bowl of hot clam chowder, Harry is feeling like a new man!Congrats on a job well done - and thanks for another great trip to Boston!

I think that I'm in love with beards because of how rugged and awesome Dad looks with one.
Great job today! And Mel Stratton followed you all day online! She is your biggest fan!
good job dad!
good job support team!
Congratulations Uncle Harry!
Great job! Glad you finished in one piece with all that rain.
Good time for all the bad weather! I hope your plane ride home is somewhat comfortable.
Did Eliza cut her hair?
Yes, Eliza did indeed cut her hair - and tomorrow I will post some more pix from the great adventure and show it off to more advantage.
I have not cut my hair - that is pretty apparent. I'm looking for a new hairdresser I can trust - my former one had a baby and gave up the trade for now!
Such a state of affairs!!
Yep, chopped it...it was in such sore need. Too bad it turns into a giant puffball in the rain...such is life.
Hooray for Dad!
And Theo really did enjoy his rental car seat. Hooray for the 3-point harness...maybe not quite as safe as the 5-point but it's easier to get in and out of!
I'm not sure what happened to this post - the pictures anyway.
If you click on the white bars, you see the picture.
Strange!
Maybe it's the wind!
They're showing up for me.
