I was there volunteering with the "wounded warriors". We all met up at Balboa hospital at 6pm and were bussed downtown. It was an amazing experience for me too. I met some really amazing guys with even more amazing stories. The guy that I was partnered up with lost his left leg and almost his right arm walking over a bridge in Iraq when an IUD went off. Last year was his first year at the run. He did it in a wheelchair. This year he decided he wanted to walk it. I was inspired by the fact that not only was he physically well enough after only 3 years but his injury happened "on a bridge". He is a pretty amazing guy. It makes you realized what is really important in life. Sometimes we all need a little reality check. I wish I would have know that you were going to be there.

What a nightmare - and that is SO something I would do! But congrats on the race, that's awesome! My Grandma likes to tell the story of the time she met her roommate at the mall to go shopping. After they finished, they got in the car and drove home. And didn't realize (I think until the next day?) that they had driven separately and left together, leaving one of the cars at the mall! I also got towed when I was babysitting once, but it was their fault since they told me to park there. They paid for the tow fees but forgot to pay me for babysitting. What a waste of a night! Oh AND once my (ex) bf's car got towed with dinner leftovers in it. Yeah, that smelled GREAT when we got it back the next day. Aww you poor thing!

Here in Boston, they are so hardcore about parking so I always check signs like 80 times before I park somewhere. And here most lots or garages are $20 or $30 a day, so it's worth it to try and park in the street. I’ve never been towed but it’s pretty much my biggest fear.
