Boston Marathon weekend is my favorite of the year. I run our hometown marathon every year and 2023 is my 28th consecutive year running.
As the years go by, I’ve been enjoying it more. I stop for a picture with my cheerleader wife and kids in Cleveland Circle and grab a beer with my parents near the finish line.
