Exciting to see the 112th running of the Boston Marathon on TV. The weather was perfect (51F, clear, sunny skies) I know 3 runners who finished and I am SO PROUD of them!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
>>My work friend Jowenne Herrera, age 30, (bib# 2580) finished in 2:59:02 AMAZING TIME! (he was 1090 overall and about 8 minutes behind Lance Armstrong (bib# 100, 2:50:58, who was 488 overall). JOWENNE YOU ROCK!!!
>>Dr. Jean Marmoreo, founder of JeansMarines (bib# 18723) finished in 3:55:07 (that's 12912 overall, 4101 place among women) - a pretty awesome achievement for anyone, let alone a 65 year-old woman. YAY Jean!
>>My manager's father Don O'Donnell, age 62, (bib# 19516) came all the way from Ireland to run in Boston and finished in 4:01:21 --WAY TO GO Jenny's Dad!
You can check all the results at bostonmarathon.com
It was the second largest field in Boston Marathon history (over 30,000 runners). The Kenyan Robert Cheruiyot won the men's race for the 4th straight year in 2:07:46 and Ethiopian Dire Tune won a very tight women's race in 2:25:25 holding off Russian Alevtina Biktimirova only 2 seconds behind her. And great to see Kathryn Switzer doing the commentary (I KNOW her - and she signed a copy of her book for me). We also gave her a copy of Marathon Women last year.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FINISHERS! Truly an inspiring day.
