💛💙 The 130th Boston Marathon 💙💛
Boston never feels ordinary.
Going into race week, Anna wasn’t totally sure how the day would unfold. She had been dealing with a little setback and knew she might have to adjust her expectations. But once she got to Boston, she reminded herself what a gift it was to even be there.
“My legs started talking early, but I kept thinking about how much of a blessing it is to be running the Boston Marathon.”
In Athletes’ Village, Anna saw a sign that said:
“You won’t always be able to do this, but today you can.”
That became her race day mantra.
So she kept moving forward, soaking in the crowds, the energy, and every unforgettable mile.
“Crossing the Boston finish line will always bring tears of joy, no matter the outcome.”
For Anna, Boston number two was about gratitude, perspective, and the joy of being able to do something truly special — today. 💙💛
Congratulations, Anna! Thanks for being part of our community and allowing us to share your story!
