     Meeting Dick and Rick Hoyt for the first time.                           Runner's World Editor-In-Chief David Willey

        They gave us the wheelchair-pushing idea

This was the day before the marathon at the corner                                                    Self-explanatory

    where Annalyn joined us for the last 1/2 mile

The crew at 5:30 AM on race day. We were in the                                                    Heading to the start

             van. We didn't start until 9:25.

Last-minute adjustments (ignore the camera, Jamie)                       Waiting at the start with Mark and Amanda Collis

                                                                                                                 and Dick and Rick Hoyt (far right)

               Aaaannnnnddddd they're off!!                                            We were filmed by a cameraperson on a motorbike

                                                                                                          for about 21 of the 26.2 miles of the marathon

                     Random race picture                                                    Giving credit to the one who made it all happen

Somewhere between Miles 8 and 13 (the only time                                                   Got our game faces on

when the motorbike didn't have a cameraperson on it)

               The spectators were awesome                                                                     Just havin' fun

A rare flat section of the course (notice the smiles)                             Before the sun came out (shades on top of head)

       Wellesley College (those girls were LOUD)                                                            Halfway there

                Melissa running with camera                                                 She rode the last 13 miles on the motorbike.

             trying to get ahead of us to shoot                                                      "Hey man, get out of my shot!"

       These camerapeople need to be in shape                                     The first of the Newton Hills (and the easiest)

                      to keep up with us

The second (they don't have these back in Chicago)                       Number three (and this is 18 miles into a marathon)

   Heartbreak Hill (Jamie had other names for it)                         Lynn just HAD to have that extra bagel for breakfast

             Almost to the top (I hate gravity)                                      FINALLY!!!!!! What goes up must come down

                      I LOVE gravity!!!                                                                      Annalyn's backstage pass
