I dedicate my first marathon finish to a woman, who has been involved in marathon for woman becoming an Olympic sport in 1984. Kathrine Switzer wasnt the first woman to run the Boston Marathon in1967, but her presence as an official entrant made her a visible and potent threat to the sports worlds status quo. Women were first allowed in Boston marathon in 1972. Kathrine Switzer, thank you for letting me and thousands of women have a chance to take on the 26.2 miles.
