Why I’m running the 2019 Boston Marathon? This will be my third consecutive Boston Marathon. So first off, because I qualified! Second, to erase the memory of the 2018 mini monsoon! I am very stubborn and determined with my goals. That weather did not give me full potential to do my best. (Hoping this year will be without freezing rain.) No better way to prove myself than in a race with the most competitive runners out there. But most importantly for my running buddy Daryl, who tragically passed away this past year. This ones for you, Daryl!
