Some Boston Highlights
It’s been too long since the race. But in some ways it feels like it was just yesterday.
I’ve got video and pictures and so many stories.
In the meantime, here’s some of the video my husband, Kenton, shot from his prime spectator’s location.
We are not sports fans at all. But Kenton said when Geoffrey Mutai bounded down Boylston Street in route to win and set a record for the FAST MARATHON EVER, he got chills. What an amazing experience!

And just think, I was only about an hour and 18 minutes away! (SHEESH! that guy is wicked fast!)
My little boy, Judah, and Kenton got to see all the top finishers, including Ryan Hall. We have a quick video of him finishing 4th place with the new American Record of 2:04:58!
I can’t believe I stole a picture with this hero just two days prior!
Our hotel was on the starting line, so the family had a great spot to watch from. They had to wait a long time though. The crowds got thick pretty early and they didn’t want to lose their spots.
I ran the whole race with my friend Nick. His parents and sisters were with Kenton and Judah. We were told, “Look left for the first American flag, that’s where we’ll be.” I spent the last 1/4 mile looking left, but so glad I found them!
Listen to little Judah’s voice squeal for me.
My cup runneth over. What a day. To run in the foot steps of Geoffrey Mutai after he ran the fastest marathon EVER in history. To follow the same path as my hero, Ryan Hall, as he set a new record. To have amazing family and friends to share that day with.
I’m not worthy of all I’ve received.
More to come….. I promise.
