The 112th Boston Marathon

Here are some pictures from the race. I live on mile 23, so I ended up getting some pretty neat shots of the leaders.


Women's leaders: Dire Tune (Left -eventual winner), Alevtina Biktimirova (Right - second place by 2 seconds)


Men's leader and eventual winner Robert K. Cheruiyot


Other notable finishes:
Lance Armstrong 2:50:58
Karen Gillespie (my mother) 4:41:57

I did, surprisingly. I was actually able to hop out on the course and run for awhile with her. She was really happy about that.

that's excellent your mother ran it. my friend ran it as well but i haven't been able to catch up with her on the outcome. do you know anything about the amount of pre-training needed? my friend had dedicated about 4 months specifically on a boston marathon prep regimen.
