This is one of the those rare times that living in Massachusetts pays off; Marathon Monday. Also known as "Patriots Day", it gives Massachusetts residents a day off work. I don't know who's worse, the marathon runner or the marathon cheerer? You couldn't pay me enough to run 26.2 miles (which is why I don't write for Runner's World), But how about the people who spend a day standing outside yelling at a bunch of runners? It's almost as boring as NASCAR, except without the speed, crashes, beer, and abundance of left-turns.
The Red Sox play at 11:30am though, giving Massachusetts' large contingent of Irish people an acceptable reason to drink before Noontime.
That being said, I'm going to go tee it up in great weather and then catch the end of the Red Sox game. Happy Monday indeed!
