4 pairs of shoes and over 1000 miles of training runs: $375 race registration, airfare, hotel accomodations: $2000+ crossing the finish line at the Boston Marathon: priceless

MTA: still working on the picture...

Congrats on a great Boston Marathon - you ran a great time and the sun was hot too. You also had the presence of mind to look up at the camera when you crossed the finish line. Great shot! I would use this as my avatar image if I was you. And what a great Boston to run with the Olympic Trials the day before. Hope you had a great time.

Hey Jennifer! I didn't realize that was you when we chatted during the race. Now, if you had said, "I'm Lifesabeach..." Though I guess that may have sounded odd. Glad you had a great day. And I agree--that's one of the best finish photos I've ever seen. It even has "Boston" in it. Sheesh. Congrats!

If they let you turn around and cross the line 100 more times you wouldn't come up with a better pic than that. I have to agree it's the best finish photo I've seen, the finish line with BOSTO, your stride, your shadow, your victory salute and ESPECIALLY your smile. Priceless is right.

SWEET Pride and jealousy of you on my part would be understatements! Way to go Jen!
