Today we had a water pipe burst in our house. It's caused a few thousand dollars in damage to the house and maybe more depending of it's impacted the structural beams below. I have to say that being part of the Dana-Farber team, running with people who have experienced so much loss, really puts this all into perspective for me and I'm grateful for it. I think before being on this team I would have really let this bother me. It's going to mess us up financially here a little. So much for some of the new stuff we wanted for the house and so much for trying to save anything. But it's just money, and we can get through it. I honestly believe this, because of the different perspective I have from running with DF.

It was a gorgeous day out today, other than the piles of dirty snow. 56 and sunny and it felt like beach weather! You have to watch THIS VIDEO. I've been laughing non-stop about this. 56 definitely feels warmer after a freezing winter, but I'll take it! Now the question is, will these snow piles be there in 39 days? The route seems clear but I have a feeling this snow will be around on Marathon Monday. There's snow piles taller than me still. Unless its 75 degrees for several days in a row, how will these ever melt in 39 days?

The top of heartbreak hill - piles of snow everywhere

There's no way this giant dirty snow hill will be gone in 39 days
