It was exciting just being there so close to marathon Monday. There were lots of blue and yellow jackets to be seen! <br /><br />I would absolutely love to see Massachusetts native, Shalane Flanagan win it for the women. In 2012 I was spectating between mile 24 and 25 and I was stunned as Sharon Cherop and Jemima Sumgong passed by both so unassuming and calm. Their running appeared so effortless. I am truly in awe of the elite runners. I can't even begin to fathom what it's like to run that fast or better yet to actually win a race.

I just love watching the race, and the last couple of years have given me a special appreciation for what I used to think was some sort of magical event ...
