Boston Marathon

Tatiana Chinitz is joining the runners she grew up cheering on

"I’m running to prove to myself and everyone else that anyone can run a marathon if they want to and it doesn’t matter how long it takes!

In our “Why I’m Running” series, Boston Marathon runners share what’s inspiring them to make the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton to Boston.

Name: Tatiana Chinitz
Age: 26
From: East Boston

I grew up in Wellesley and got to watch marathoners reach the half way point every year, and it was my favorite day of the year! I have never been an endurance athlete, and I never thought I’d be capable of running a marathon. But this will be my second, and I’m running to prove to myself and everyone else that anyone can run a marathon if they want to and it doesn’t matter how long it takes!
