Item Text: We left the VIP seating about 60 minutes before the explosion. Our runner had came in early so we left. I have run 8 times and this was the first year I had taken off. The clock time of 4:09 was my exact time 2 years ago and I have always ran at a 4:10 time -so scary that this was the year I took off. God bless all! God Bless Boston and the Marathon!
Notes (acquisition):
This story was collected by the Boston Globe in the days immediately following the Boston Marathon Bombing. GlobeLab collected these anonymous stories on the Boston.com website and donated them to the Our Marathon Archive. We are grateful for this contribution, which gives insight into how Bostonians and visitors to the city understood the bombing events in their immediate aftermath.
