The daffodils we planted in the backyard have finally bloomed...spring has arrived! Now if we could just get the birds to stop eating the grass seed we might have a lawn soon.
Looking forward to using the deck this spring, summer and fall!
On memorial drive, waiting for the runners...this morning we watched the Women's Olympic Marathon Trials...amazing!!!
a runner along memorial drive...on her third lap...
the excitement begins...fourth and final lap....Magdalena Lewy Boulet is in the lead but since the previous lap, Deena Kastor had made her move and closed the more than two minute gap and was now only 43 seconds behind!
Magdalena Lewy Boulet still in the lead...
Deena Kastor running with beautiful form and speed...closing the gap
in less than two miles, Deena had taken over the lead...incredible to watch at mile 23 of a marathon!!!
Deena Kastor, American record holder, giving a lesson on running form (see next two photos...)
Deena would go on to win, finishing with an unofficial time of 2:29:35
Magdalena Lewy Boulet took second place in 2:30:19
Blake Russell, third place finisher in 2:32:40, will join Kastor and Lewy Boulet in Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics
all of the runners were tremendous to watch...
heading across the Harvard Bridge one more time...
on the walk home we took lots of photos of the arriving spring...the blossoms are beautiful!
