Ok, let me begin by saying that I’m a little embarrassed that these photos aren’t better — and that I don’t have more of them. I don’t do much sports photography, and I certainly don’t often roll out of bed…
My advice for getting around town during the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon: put off those errands for a few hours unless you have to do them early on Saturday. If you live in outlying areas, you won’t be affected much,…
