Six Star Finishers - Boston 2018

Today was so tough. We had driving rain. The winds were brutal at the worst times possible. That's cool. Super cold, super rainy, super wet. Just a fight to the finish. I almost freezing. I didn't think I was going to make it until the very end. The fact that we had to fight through the rain and our own doubts, I think it makes it so much more rewarding. I worked so hard to get here. There's no way I was missing this run. Even though the weather sucks, all you can do is kind of laugh at it and have a good time. Beautiful day! Come on, it's a marathon, it's not supposed to be easy, so yeah, suck it up and go. I just put my head down and there were so many inspiring people along the way. I didn't expect that we were going to have so many spectators and just people cheering us on. We were never alone. Everyone pushing together all the way. It just made the run so much better. I just wanted to keep going for them. They really appreciate all the work the Marathoners do. I don't know how you can't smile when you've just completed maybe the coolest marathon in the world. I really enjoyed it. I'm going to be back next year. This is my Boston PR and I PR'ed by two and a half minutes. It was a great victory. Great victory. It's the one to tell the kids about. Yeah. Can't forget this. Ever. It was a great experience. I feel, like, powerful. I feel like I've earned it today. I think I've earned it today.
