We think all the runners in the 2013 Boston Marathon are superheroes, but these two Wonder Women are Katherine (left) and Becky.

We think all the runners in the 2013 Boston Marathon are superheroes, but these two Wonder Women are Katherine (left) and Becky.

Dimity and Sarah each talk to a mother runner who ran the 2013 Boston Marathon to hear the story in their own words. Melissa Fryback of Portland dug deep and set a PR (3:43:46) but had barely 20 minutes to celebrate before the blasts, while Katherine Sullivan and her friend Becky Stouder finished just ahead of the terrifying explosions. We cried while talking with these strong women, and we suspect more tears will be had while listening to them. Let them mix with your sweat on your next life-affirming run.
