Krista recaps Boston

Last week a limited number of runners snapped  up free tickets to an exclusive event sponsored by Black Toe Running and iRun Magazine featuring Krista DuChene discussing her recent incredible third place finish at the Boston Marathon. It was fun to see some familiar faces in the crowd including Jonathan who had recently raced his first Boston, Kate who was hoping to qualify for Boston that coming weekend, Carrie, Karen as well as Maria, Kate and I who scored front row seats. Krista always has inspiring things to say about running and this presentation was no different. She recapped her training and days leading up to Boston and the things she did that helped her do so well at this grueling race. She also had some great tips for runners about marathon running, fueling and training. There were definitely some very funny moments including one where she compared the marathon distance to dying. Yes, it was a 'had to be there' moment. 

Following questions, Krista chatted with attendees. I snapped some photos of my friends as they asked her questions about her race, fueling and words of advice for the upcoming race weekend. 

Of course I had to make her a t-shirt! I was amazed to learn she didn't already have something with 'marathon mom' written on it! 

Thanks Krista for continuing to inspire in all you do. Always a joy to get to chat with you.
