Default Boston Marathon

My sister is running it as we speak. I just checked in on her time. She is running a 7:49 pace, projected to finish at 3:24:47. Because of her leg injury, her coach had instructed her to run at an 8 mile pace, but it looks like she decided not to listen.

I'm amazed by her. All her life, she has rejected playing sports and doing any sort of athletic activity. Three years ago, a group of friends convinced her to train for a marathon with them. She refused, but gave in at the last minute. She surpassed them all, and discovered a competitive drive in her that has turned her into a good runner. Plus, she's stubborn as heck
