Ok running the Boston Marathon is great but have you ever spectated one?!

At first I had major FOMO not participating in the 130th running of the Boston Marathon… but getting to see all the faces of the race was even better!

I planted myself at Mile 19 because I knew that’s where I have always struggled in the race the most. You have already run so far and still have the beast that is Heartbreak Hill to go. I hoped my presence would give a boost to those that needed it.

I have never had so much fun cheering for so many people 🙌🙌🙌It was also hilarious to see the reactions from those that were shocked to see me out there 😂😂😂

Congrats to everyone who tackled the 2026 BOSTON MARATHON!!!You all don’t know how much you inspired me.💚💚💚💚💚
