Wow, what a busy day of walking! Ill bet I walked close to 5 or 6 miles today.  Our flight got in early this morning.  We grabbed a rental car and went to stay with our friends here in Stoneham, Mass.  They let us sleep in until 10:30 which was really 8:30 our time so we only got 7 hours of sleep. We went and had some Boston Pizza at a name I forget now but it was very thin crusted and lots of grease. I guess im used to our thick crust absorbing the grease for me. lol  We explored downtown Boston and then went to Fanueil Hall.  We ate at a Mexican restaraunt and then went to see the Dark Knight on the IMAX screen by the Aquarium.  Oh we did some major shopping  and I ran into none other than Bill Rodgers.  I didnt even know who he was until I saw the pictures in the running center of him.  He and I had a nice 10 min. talk and I could see how passionate he was in running.  I think from me talking to him he could tell the excitement of my running also.  He gave me his card and invited me to come to his running store the day after the Boston Marathon next year and they will have some Russian, and European Olympic runners there for a meet and greet and then a party.  I told him about the Blog here but didnt have a card so Ill have to get him one when I go next year. I told him how Sasha had this blog and thats how he invited me to meet his Russian runners.  So Ill have to see if Sasha is running next year.  Wow, its good to meet people like that! What amazing talent they have and all.  We are now safely back in Stoneham and Im having a blast!

You met "Boston Billie!" That's amazing. I doubt I would have been able to have a "nice 10 min. talk" as I probably couldn't have put vowels and consonants together in his presence. What a thrill. You brushed elbows with history, my friend. Enjoy your trip. :)

Pretty great day! What an amazing experience!

Hes so down to earth and his store is near the Fanueil Hall where we ate. I didnt even know it! I was just shopping with my family and boom, ran right into him. I actually asked him if he had anymore 26.2 stickers before I realized it was him. He's the Micheal Jordan or the Dr. J of the trade! Awesome

Thanks Jody, it was so quiet last night I probably wouldnt have put together who he was if his store was any busier.

How cool Wall-e! Have fun and enjoy your vacation!

From walter on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 10:38:32

Thank you thank you Lucia. I was thinking, you could go as the bride of Frankenstein this Halloween. MMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGRRRRR MMMMMMMMM! You can make fun of me next week. lol

From Lucia on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 10:40:47

Hehehe... Yeah, I've thought about that :)

So what's the deal with you??? You can't run or yes? Every time I read something about you being injured or in pain I think you probably won't be running for a while but then the next day you run 10 miles. What's the deal???

From walter on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 10:46:17

Im an addict Lucia! I hurt myself and then feel like I can run, so I go out and then BAM I get hurt more. I have to have a surgery on Thursday for a hernia and then I will heal. Im not trying to be in competition here with injuries! lol
