Running the Boston Marathon on Monday, and trying to figure out where the wife and kids should place themselves to give me a few much needed high fives deep into the run. Anyone have favorite places to view? Things to consider: Walking time needs to be minimized, should be kid friendly if possible. Where's the best places to meet the fam afterwards? Thanks!

Is there any way to find out the percentage of Boston Marathon runners that qualified for the race vs. the percentage that gained entry through other means (charities and such)?
