Beantown Doug:

↳ Gina Bacon @5:07

Not anymore. Which is a big comedown from running it as I used to do. Security is so tight the fun of being a spectator at the starting lines is no longer fun. There is one small area on the town common, and getting in is like going through a TSA checkpoint. ♥ 5:11pm

↳ Gina Bacon @5:14

Past the starting line it's much better. Lots of cheering along the course. ♥ 5:18pm
Gina Bacon:

↳ Beantown Doug @5:16

I used to run (still do, but more gently), but I never had a marathon in me. 🥁 ♥ 5:20pm
Beantown Doug:

↳ Gina Bacon @5:18

I can still manage a 5k before my ankle starts to complain. ♥ 5:20pm
