I clocked in over an hour more than last year. Maybe I should have saved time by not kissing the Wellesley student with the sign "Kiss me. I am Jewish." The crowd was indeed awesome and very supportive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448441063925036701.post-1385039419241899572012-04-19T18:07:32.004-04:002012-04-19T18:07:32.004-04:00I'm a friend of Roy's.

I have turned in my running shoes for bare feet and a yoga mat but soldiering on in my journey of healing and transformation after experiencing paralytic polio and severe childhood trauma. Wonderful to 'meet' you and I was out at Cleveland Circle screaming and cheering on the runners this year.
