Something amazing happened yesterday. More than 26,000 runners hit the streets of Boston (our very own SBS being one of them) on an unusually warm April day. Sarah will be sharing her race report shortly—we’ll give her a break and let her eat, sleep, and foam roll (in no particular order)—but until then, check out the moments that resonated with us from Instagram.

Watching Neely Spence Gracey cross the finish line at the 1st USA Female!!! I’m from her small town and have danced with her at weddings :-) She is a wonderful person as well as a runner!
Great images! I can’t wait to read SBS’s full report.
SBS, I loved knowing that you were running “near” my friend who was a guide to a blind runner in our run club. Hope you had a happy, healthy run!
Thanks so much for sharing that photo. It was a tough race, but finishing with the kids was unforgettable!
