Goal: Finish. I am going to take in every moment of every mile and run for all the victims that were affected by last year’s tragedy.
Reason for running: I am running my first marathon. I am so excited about participating in such an amazing event. I have always wanted to run and thought there is no way I could make it. I have been an avid runner for 20 years, but, within the last five years, I have been serious about my health and wanting my children to follow in a healthy life style as well. Running has so much meaning to me. I run for so many people who can't for health reasons, I run for sanity reasons but most of all I run because I love it!The 129 Medford Residents Running the 2014 Boston Marathon >>
