Goodtimes in Beantown!

Very nice report Colette. Your dedication and determination has been inspiring all along, and your race on Monday didn't disappoint.

Congratulations again.

Colette, I'm so thrilled for you. You worked incredibly hard and YES it's damn inspirational that you've run two marathons since having Isaiah. I know you've got an incredible support system, and you're so lucky to have that, but you worked really, really hard and I'm so in awe of your dedication. I know you will get your time back down- I hope that you're not disappointed in your time for too long, because you have been through a TON in the last few months and you have really come a hugely long way. Wear that jacket with pride girly... can't wait to see you soon.

So happy for you! You are AWESOME!

My friend Leo (who also ran Boston) saw a photo of you on FB (maybe from a comment you made on my status) and said, "That Colette is pretty hot!" Just thought you'd want to know.

Funny, my friend also said to deerdree that you looked super-thin and terrific! Oh wait, it was me who said that about you...wait, what? Awwwwkwaaaard.

(thanks for the nice compliment)

I found you inspirational even BB when you smoked me on the course in PEC. Congrats on your accomplishments and for having run Boston.

[SteveF]

Well done! A good support system makes a huge difference. So nice to see...

Fantastic result. 4 hours is just an arbitrary number but to come to Boston for the first time and run that course so evenly after training through a Canadian winter is impressive by any measure.

Great job Colette. Chalk up another victory due to your dedicated training and awesome family/support.
For sure, you will be under 4:00 next time.

[Andes]

Congratulations on a great effort; glad to hear you got so much out of the experience. And yes, I am inspired by both your training and your attitude!

Congrats on a great race, Lightening. You should be very proud of yourself; running 2 marathons post-baby (who must be just one now) is INCREDIBLE - I have 3 kids (7.5, 10, 11) so I know how much juggling and support it takes. But I waited until they were a bit older to get back into marathons...You are awesome!!! I'm glad you enjoyed your race and didn't put pressure on yourself to run under 4 hours. Boston is a tough course and you ran a smart race. Hope your recovery is going well. I see big things in your running future!!!

[UltraQueenga]

Nicely done!! Congrats on your first Boston! I'm sure there will be more to come. Sub-4:00 next year... hang in there!

I have been waiting for a moment to myself to read this race report and savour it. You ARE an inspiration, and I am so happy for you. I am amazed at the 4 hour marathon on a tough course (and 2 minutes, but pee time should be discounted IMO!). You ROCK hot momma!
