This will be Christine Miskinis 33rd Boston Marathon

Christine Miskinis started running in 1980 at age 29, motivated by her fear of turning 30. She could have never expected that 38 years later, at age 68, she would be preparing for her 33rd Boston Marathon on April 16, her 54th marathon overall. Now, as a personal trainer and running coach, Miskinis helps others realize their goals, no matter their age. She has always found running the Boston Marathon to be a “magical” experience, even after participating for 33 years. She enjoys the journey, and feels connected to the spectators as she passes by. “The experience is so amazing, to be out there with the spectators who really want to support you,” she said. “Especially since the bombing. You can really feel everyone is there with you.”
