Amazing day in Boston, yesterday! One big 26.2 mile party. Felt like a rockstar running the course, giving everyone high fives, many kisses to the girls at Wellesley College, interacting and hearing the roar of the crowds. After finishing it was amazing the amount of police and military officers coming over to congratulate us and shake our hands. And then walking by all the spectators was pretty special. Everyone congratulating and thanking us from rooftops to people coming up and wanting to take pictures with us

Finished around 4:30 and could have possibly run it a hour less than that but at mile 14, a team member was struggling, so I and another teammate walked/ran with him the rest of the way to the finish line. Don't think he would have made it alone. But we go him running the last mile to the turn on Boylston St and had a blast hooting, hollering and high fiving everyone before we joined up to run across the finish line together.

Not the marathon I planned to run but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Pic from behind the Finish Line. This year, the view from behind the Finish Line was a happy moment and not a nightmare like last year. I can close the book on last year and can cherish the most amazing day.
