Running My Dream, 114 Boston Marathon, April 19, 2010

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Today I realized my 37yr dream of Running The 2010 Boston Marathon!!!

I'm sitting here in my Hotel room with my 2010 Boston Marathon medal around my neck which I am going to wear to bed tonight.
Today was an awesome experience for me. The crowds were phenomenal, they lined 26.2miles  (42kms)
track shoulder to shoulder screaming encouragement.
Today I set a personal best time, and I am totally and utterly thrilled with my efforts!
Thank you to my support team of Jean and Katherine. You two are awesome.
Plus Sean McKenna, Paul Kenny, Stu, and Kathy Ramsay thanks for going that extra mile with and for me.
Thanks to John Lynch for giving me the privileged position of having the VIP experience, firstly in the tent this morning at 6.30am with the elite runners. Then on the Number 1 Bus with other VIP's, with a police escort, which was amazing and brilliant to be part of (they even stopped traffic so we would have an uninterrupted trip to the town of Hopkington to the start) 
Then this afternoon being in the VIP tent with my support team whom you welcomed with open arms.
I left the tent floating after having been given a massage and being treated like a queen.
I had a wonderful dinner with my team, and have just had a hot bath. I feel a million dollars.
Stay tuned for the next few days when I will post a video and lots of photos and more information.

BE GREAT!! I know that you can do it!
