We happy few

We got up early and made our way to the Mile 14 marker on the Marathon route. It's around 45 Road and Vernon Boulevard. We arrived around 10:30, just after the women's elite group ran through. The women's elite started at 9:35 while the rest of the pack started at 10:06 (a bit early apparently).

I'd bought three cases of tissues yesterday, but given the warm weather today we didn't expect there to be much demand. In the end we handed out a case and a half, or about 45 boxes. We left around 2:30, after the police "sweeper" escort went by.

Frisket was very well behaved and received many compliments from the runners and passers by.

I'll post pix when I find the missing memorystick reader.

Now we are all crashed (we didn't run, but standing for four hours and keeping very alert so as not to collide with any of the runners can be very tiring). I'm speed watching Henry V on the tivo.
