Denise and Randy at Hopkinton, the race start

Denise had the most significant injury to overcome, having a long recovery from foot surgery and only six weeks of training.   "Nothing was going to keep me from running this race," she said afterwards.  Randy had trouble with this shin but said, "I  did my best and I am happy to say I finished without hurting myself which really was my number one goal. My shin hurts a little now but I think a few weeks off and I should be good to go again."


Nine (9) of the 53 Rank Strangers have raced at Boston: Eric Engdahl, Monique Faber, Bob Holzer, Anne Martino, David Maze, Denise Meacham, Randy Meacham, Art Saffran and Jennifer Sell.
