When I was in high school I went with my friend Christina into the city to watch her boyfriend run the Boston Marathon. That's the first time I saw Dick and Rick Hoyt. It was awe-inspiring. As this year's marathon approached, I wondered if they'd be participating, eighteen years later. This morning over breakfast, I saw on the news that they were still running it. Not only that, but this year's Boston Marathon was their 1000 athletic event.
And last year, they were inducted into the Triathlete Hall of Fame.
So, if you're having a bad day, watch this. Or rather, if you're bitching about your life watch this. I challenge you to get through it without being moved.
