The Boston Marathon. At 20, running it was still a dream. At 41, she finished strong and claimed her place in Boston history. The medal for her accomplishment hung around her neck. But as she stared at herself in the mirror, she wondered if the object represented the fulfillment of her dream, or if it was a dull substitute for the real thing. Yes, she qualified for Boston and ran 26.2 miles on race day. But she ran the COVID-19 virtual version-the only possibility for the 124th Boston Marathon. She had gained bling and bragging rights, but the void of not experiencing the Scream Tunnel, Heartbreak Hill, and the unbounded energy of racing alongside the elite crowd of runners lingered. Julie's mission was half achieved in her mind, and this running mother was not going to settle. She would continue to train with the belief that she would travel to Boston and toe the start line in 2021. She was determined to show her children what it takes to keep going, to pivot and adapt, and even when the bus gets lost on the way to the start, you never give up!
