Boston Bound!
I’m running the Boston Marathon on Monday 4/21. The start time is 10:30 am. This has been a long time coming. Many of you know that I have wanted to run Boston for about 13 years now. I am so excited to finally be able to do it!
I was invited to run and raise funds for Tufts University. The experience has been wonderful. I have gotten great information from Tufts. I have gotten amazing support from friends and family. You helped raise over $3,000 for research on nutrition and childhood obesity. 
Wish me luck!

The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a
