We woke to the alarm at 3:30 this morning. Not the time I would normally choose, but the time required to get to the airport, run the gauntlet of airport security and still get to the departure gate on time for a 6:05 a.m. flight. Our flights to Chicago and then to Boston were pretty close to on time and uneventful. We managed to get a little sleep but how well do most people sleep on airplanes anyway?
After our arrival in Boston and after retrieving our luggage, we caught a shuttle to the Hyatt Harborside Hotel and arrived around 3:15. There are apparently a number of other runners staying at the hotel and the staff seems excited about Marathon Weekend.
The weather in Boston was wonderful for the tourists but would have been a little warm for runners. It looks like it will be cooler on Monday.
We got somewhat settled in and then took a hotel shuttle to the "T" and took the train downtown. We walked around and saw some of the sights for a while and then worked our way to the "North End" where we had dinner at an Italian restaurant called Bocco. The food was great albeit a bit on the expensive side.
We were both tired so took the T back to the hotel where we watched some TV and then called it a night.
