The Boston Marathon is 26.2 miles that truly tested my determination, pain threshold, and threw so many curve balls my direction that I had to remind myself, “It’s now what happens to you, but how you handle it.” But in the end, I survived with a smile on my face and a new PR!

Not my goal time, but I’m extremely happy with my new little BFF and am proud of every step it took to get there.
We’re still in Boston until tonight, so the longest race report of your life will be coming soon!
And most importantly, thank you SO much to each and every one of you who supported me through this entire process. You are all truly the reason I was able to get through it and I can’t believe what a wonderful community this is. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
YOU ARE AMAZING!! To run a marathon is that time is BRILLIANT, but to run that time on course like Boston is UNBELIEVABLE!! You are awesome Page, and you should be SO PROUD of yourself! š
