It was a relatively slow day at work - exam correction and tying up loose ends admin wise, I even got to show off the Boston Marathon DVD to a couple of the colleagues. They seem to understand the significance of the achievement, moreso the PE teacher (congrats on fatherhood Scotty!) than Jess and Jan, but as colleagues who I value highly, I'm glad they stuck around for a few minutes of boredom.
The Celtics are up 1 - 0. I've adopted them ever since qualifying for Boston and being able to see a Celtics game in the flesh. I've had a soft spot for them, the Knicks and probably the Pistons ever since getting into the NBA in my mid-late teens, but running the marathon there and getting caught up in the Celtic hoo-ha has roped me in. Three "Kevins" have made their mark on this great franchise (see pics above)
1. Kevin McHale - hall of famer, current GM of Minnesota Timerwolves, potential deliverer of Celtics championship due to trading away...
2. Kevin Garnett - acquired from McHale's Wolves for half of the Celtics bench, crazy intense.
3. Kevin - 5 years old, Geelong AFL fan. Loves a good bandwagon and parsley. Our bud!
Run stuff - 12ks around Willy, Newport and Spotty. No breeze, cool, nice rhythm. 51 minutes, the heart rate topped out at 153, but it felt terrific.
