In case you need some inspiration.

From Allison Wade, author of my favorite weekly newsletter, Fast Women:

“The oldest woman to finish this year’s [#BostonMarathon] was Carol Wright, 83, who ran 5:57:02. I had the pleasure of meeting her over the weekend. She didn’t take up running until she was 69, and she thinks that’s helping her body feel good now. If she can record an official finish next year, she will tie the record for oldest woman to officially complete the race.”

Didn’t see many signs on assignment for the Boston Marathon, but this one was well-played. #severence #bostonmarathon

Wow. Eye-opening read about #transphobia and the #bostonmarathon. https://open.substack.com/pub/thefrankiedlc/p/the-boston-marathon-a-case-study

An #AI generated text and image from yesterday's news:

At the 2025 Boston Marathon, Kenyan athletes made history as John Korir won the men's race in 2:04:45, alongside his brother Wesley, becoming the first siblings to win. Sharon Lokedi set a new women's course record with a time of 2:17:22, inspiring future athletes with their remarkable performances.

Excellent, that's all of the #BostonMarathon participants that I was tracking either finished or accounted for (some nasty stomach bug took out one friend, alas). Special well done to Laura Caster who just missed the cut-off last year (though was initially told she was going to be within it, and ended up in hospital pushing to make it). She was instrumental in moving the cut-off to a fixed local time, so people know. And now she's a six-star finisher. Home with 19 minutes to spare.

Had a nice day doing public service communications for the Boston Marathon.

At events like the Boston Marathon, so much media coverage is devoted to the professionals as they cross the finish line. But if you ask me, the true excitement is watching tens of thousands of runners together at the start.
