Early Saturday morning, we set up our water stop on the corner of Washington Street and Commonwealth Avenue in Newton - just before you tackled the hills. Special thanks to Newton Fire Department Station #2 for letting us hang out.
We had a blast cheering you on, meeting and chatting with you - you continue to inspire us.
Enjoy your taper!
