Movie Smakk
At the request of the Bunny, she wants me to go old school and bring back my top five films related to the last smakk post. Being that the cage door seems locked these days, I guess I have no choice but to acquiesce to her request. So to start off, let me add the top five for my posts this week. Here you go:

Top five Boston films:
5. Celtic Pride
4. Blown Away
3. Mystic River
2. The Departed
1. Good Will Hunting

Top five Running films:
5. Logan's Run
4. Prefontaine
3. Chariots of Fire
2. Marathon Man
1. Forrest Gump

Boston Smakk
The Bunny survived the monsoon like conditions and finished the Boston Marathon in the impressive time of 3:33:53. I was also impressive in my ability to finish pints of Boston's own Harpoon Ale in record time although the weather in the pub was much more conducive. We checked out all the sites on the Freedom Trail, hit some local area pubs, had a couple lobsters at the Union Oyster House, spooned up some clam chowder at Durgin Park, and I left town with a new hooded rain jacket that got a lot of use. So now we're back in town and back to work...what a pissah.

Marathon Smakk
The Bunny is about 30 minutes from starting her big race in Beantown today. Conditions are heavy rains, 40 degrees and wind gusts up to 50mph. I was barely able to walk back to the hotel after walking her to the busses this morning with the other 21,000 freaks out there. I sure the Kenyans are loving the hurricane like conditions.
Anyway, I've got head back out there and jump on the "T" to try to find her swimming through at mile 16.8. So please wish the Bunny best of luck today, and hopefully she can keep her tail dry.
