Quote of the day

"I will never forget rounding the corner and turning onto Boylston Street for the final yards of the race. It's a striking sight. There are thousands of people there, spilling over onto the streets and sidewalks and up on the plaza near the finish line at the Prudential Center. It's all downhill, funneling toward the finish. It still ranks as one of the most thrilling moments of my life.
