April 19

,which is the third Monday in April this year, is the running of the 114th Boston Marathon. It extends through 8 towns or cities. finishing in Boston. As with all marathons, the length is 26.2 miles. I'm telling you all of this to tell you that my daughter ran a half-marathon yesterday. She went 13.1 miles in under two hours. Out of a field of 500, she was 200th. She is a youthful and very fit (she also participates in karate) 31 years old. I can't imagine doing that! (I did a 5k walkathon once. That's my claim to fame in this regard.)
