the melbourne marathon was last sunday morning, so we headed out to cheer on the runners. we are really lucky because the course runs right out the back of our condo, so we didn't have far to go. we were around the 17km mark, and headed out right at 7.30 to see the lead runners. we were really surprised to see this:
that's right...no one out there supporting. it was probably about 10 minutes before the lead runners came through, and not a soul out there supporting. the lead runners came through, then about half an hour later, people actually came out to start supporting.

lead runners coming through 17km in 54:47. fast.

we stayed around for a while, yelling and cheering - that is not so much the norm here. most folks looked at us like we were crazy. jeff's boss was running, so we cheered for him, too!

| jeff's boss in the blue. way to go! |
one of the bonuses of getting up to support was that we had this view all to ourselves. totally worth it.
