Boston Marathon and the Heart Break Hill, 4/18/2011

Some general information: Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon. Heartbreak Hill is an ascent over 0.4 mile (600 m) of the Boston Marathon course, between the 20 and 21 mile marks, in the vicinity of Boston College. Patriots' Day (officially Patriots' Day in Massachusetts and Patriot's Day in Maine) is a civic holiday commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War. It is observed on the third Monday in April in Massachusetts and Maine.

今年的参赛人数是2万七千人， 报名开始后8小时就报满了。每年的这一天我都请一天假， 带着孩子(们)观看， 送水， 递水果， 给运动员们加油， 几个小时下来， 嗓子包哑。：-)
