I qualified and ran Boston Marathon 2014, 2015 & 2016. It’s a bittersweet feeling knowing that even though I qualified for Boston this year, I decided to pass it up. I instead decided to train for my first ultra marathon and run the D.C. Marathon two weeks apart instead. Yes, that was the toughest thing I ever did! I have no regrets for my decision, and hope to run Boston again after I have completed all my bucket list marathons all over the ? world! For now, I wish all the runners who are running this marathon the best of luck and hope they enjoy it like I did the last 3 years! Thankful for this badass woman for paving the way for all female runners!
