I need to start writing about the serendipitous moments I’ve already experienced in Boston before I forget... #BostonMarathon #TogetherForward

While boarding trolley to Expo, receive 2 compliments on my @TwinsRun shirt which led to a nice conversation with a woman from Scotland

While waiting for @WomensRunning seminar, the 2 women sitting next to me complimented me on my @TwinsRun shirt because they both have twin daughters 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

It was fun to run into Twitter friends: @run_DADDY_run at the Expo & @MarathonMin on the trolley. May the miles ahead be good to you! 💙💛

I got lost in the Expo but found @ScottJurek.

I got lost in the Expo (again) and ran into Dave McGillivray @DMSE

I finally met Neely Spence Gracey! 🤗 And, I told Deena Kastor I loved her audiobook “Let Your Mind Run” even though I cried listening to the part about 9/11 & the NYC Marathon. 😢

Grateful for the opportunity to share my story with @cogwbur: “Your Stories: The Boston Marathon Is More Than A Race” wbur.fm/2EKPQLS

Random stranger asks: “Are to running tomorrow?” then gives a huge thumbs up 👍 #Boston2018

Someone asked for advice since this is her 1st #BostonMarathon and I said “Soak it all in” (while you’re soaked 🤣)

Talked with a #motherrunner who qualified on her 1st attempt! 👍 She’s also here solo & we both won @KTape raffle price after @runmeb’s talk at #RWBoston Pop-Up Shop. 🙌

*prize 🤦🏻‍♀️ #Runsomnia #BeyondExhausted

It’s always a joy to listen to Meb. He is so kind & has a wonderful sense of humor. 💙💛 #ThankYouMeb #TeamMR8

Thanks to the anonymous donor for your generous donation to @AlexsLemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer! 🍋🏃🏻‍♀️ alexslemonade.org/mypage/1121983

Oops. I meant to add these tweets to my #Boston2018 serendipitous moments thread.

Grateful to hear Amby Burfoot share his story at the @runnersworld Pop-Up Shop today 💙💛 #RWBoston #TeamMR8 #Boston2018

Curious to see how my body will handle this weather challenge. We’re all in this together! 🌧🏃🏻‍♀️💨 #Boston2018 #TogetherForward

Grateful for spectators & volunteers! Can’t wait to hand out these @TwinsRun thank you cards! #Boston2018 #TogetherForward

And I gave myself a concussion getting on the bus 🚌🤦🏻‍♀️

Ziploc bag selfie on bus 🚌 to Hopkinton #Boston2018 #TogetherForward

And, I have a #BostonMarathon bus buddy! 🚌

I know I’ll regret complaining about this later but I’m so hot on this bus 🚌🔥

“you have a visitor” - a stranger said moments before this squirrel jumped on my leg 😱

I really regret complaining 😬

Thank you to the kind gentleman who offered to take my photo #TwinsRunBoston #BostonMarathon #WhatLiftsYou

The day after #BostonMarathon
