26.2 miles, 26.2 thoughts: Part 8
Hooray for marathon spectators!
One thing I love about the Flying Pig is that the spectators are extra nice. I got a lot of high-fives, a lot of cheers, some orange slices, some candy, and of course, those two free beers. Even during the parts of the race where there shouldn’t have been spectators (such as the stretch of blocked-off highway we ran on for a bit), there were little clusters of people waving and cheering. So sweet.
