If you’re begrudging the workweek that put an end to the beautiful weekend the Bean just basked in, a morning at the beach in Southie seems like a satisfactory way to start the next. All the better to be there for a good cause: a fundraiser for multiple myeloma, a cancer of blood plasma cells that affects more than 50,000 Americans. The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation is working to bring this disease to its knees in part by hosting a 5k Walk/Run this Saturday morning, May 13, Mother’s Day weekend (consider yourself reminded) at Carson Beach.

Bostonist loves the Olympics. So much. Even though it's the winter Olympics, so there are far fewer obscure countries (Seychelles, represent!) and random-test-of-strength type sports (shotput, We're looking at you!), the skiing and skating and curling (oh, the curling!) do indeed rock our world. There are plenty of Masshole athletes to cheer on (like Jamie Hagerman, Courtney Kennedy, and Sarah Parsons of the women's hockey team, Rick DiPietro, Bill Guerin, and Keith Tkachuk of the men's team, speed skater Caroline Hallisey, and skier Emily Cook, all of whom are still in medal contention), and more incredibly ugly figure skating outfits than Bostonist can shake a baton at.
