2010 Boston Marathon

The oldest Marathon-Boston Marathon.

每年在Patriot's Day 舉行(四月的第三個星期一),據說是僅次於Super Bowl，全美第二大的single day sporting event.,也是第一個開辦Wheelchair division的Marathon.

今天因為去修手機剛好看到在John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center有一堆拿著紀念品袋子的人，就很好奇的進去瞧了瞧。結果裡面滿滿的全都是running的運動用品還有各式各樣boston的紀念衣服，看得我都想要來跑一下............的話是不可能的(話說我人生第一次也應該是最後一次的馬拉松應該就是高一的中正紀念堂...)

Anyway,看大家買東買西我也很開心，回家後查了一下今年的Boston marathon:
