Boston update

Lori is feeling pretty good, quads are a bit tender but otherwise she is physically well.  She has had some time to reflect on her Monday and it was the biggest contradiction of emotions as she was running towards the finish and the elation she felt as she could see the finish line just ahead and then utter devastation that she felt only seconds later as the second blast went off just ahead of her.  She was confused then concerned about me and our friends here in Boston and our safety.  It took almost an hour for us to meet with one-another and that was a very happy moment!  We would like to celebrate this achievement but do not feel now is the appropriate time or place.

Yesterday we spent the day on a bit of a walking tour of the cities north end where we finally met Fern (the lady who arranges for our rooms here in Boston).  We had a very good chat with her, and she recommended a great bakery for some treats, very yummy.

We came to our room and found an email from Bert letting us know that Lori could get her medal from the bag pick-up area; this was a very emotional moment for both  of us as I placed the medal on her.

We spent last night relaxing in our condo, we had a good sleep to prepare for today.  Lori went out for a 40' run early this morning and we are getting ready for some sight-seeing with our friend Kathy.
