Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

5.2 miles at the end of the course and 3.1 miles run to fetch the car. The most surreal run. A friend from Chicago was running the Boston Marathon with another friend. I was spectating with her sister at the top of Heartbreak Hill. She asked us to run us in, so we left all our valuables on the ground to help her BQ at Boston. It was the four of us running, which was really special because the four of us were on a Ragnar Ultra team last June. Right before my friend crossed the finish, her sister and I thought about hopping the fence to get out of the finish area. The volunteer told us just to finish. We all cried, said our congratulations, then when we were saying our goodbyes, we heard a bang. We just left anyway. Then on the train, we found out what that bang was. I still can't believe we were so lucky. We were 30 mins ahead of the explosions. If my friend and I ended up hopping the fence, we would have been waiting right at the spot where the first bomb went off. If my friend had a bad race, we could have crossed right at the wrong time. My heart goes out to all the spectators and runners, I cannot imagine what they have been through.
