Oh my gosh. Tears in my eyes as the flag is raised.....and our national anthem is played! Way to go, Meb! (I loved him blessing himself with the sign of the cross as he was about to cross the finish line, too.)

Just perfect!


Keflezighi had the names of last year's victims written in marker on the corners of his official runner's bib. The names included the three people killed in last year's marathon and the name of a police officer from MIT who was allegedly killed by the bombing suspect days later.

This brought more tears, emma.

Oh thank you for pointing that out, Preds! I totally missed that! Yes.....that is definitely more tear-worthy....
