On Saturday, I went to a “Team in Training” practice to help out with the team. Of course I wore my new Boston Marathon Jacket! I also wore my medal to show my friends….well after practice, I was in line to get gas at Costco and I looked over, and the girl in the car next to me also had her Boston Marathon coat on! I yelled “hey nice jacket!” she said “you too!” Then I pulled out the medal (which I was still wearing) and said, “Do you have your medal on too?” She looked confused and said, “uh, no?!”. haha She must have thought I was crazy.
I mean come on, doesn’t everyone wear their medals out while doing their errands?

In my car, I had a whole bunch of cupcakes I baked for the team. I was at a stop light and I noticed a homeless man begging for money on the corner. I rolled my window down and gave him a cupcake. He was so excited about it! It felt really nice to do something good for someone else. Cupcakes make EVERYTHING better. Even if just for a few minutes.
((I loved my wedding cupcakes!!))



I TOTALLY wore my medal out while running errands, until I framed it with my bib#. 🙂 Now it is hanging on my wall in a shrine of Boston stuff – The poster, the sign we stole, my singlet, and my bag.
