Great and inspirational video. What's helped me run 40 marathons, including 3 Boston, is "the miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." Good job and congrats.

[@TonyJamesRunning]

Thanks for the support. Anyone can do it, just take that first step & keep a smile on your face

[@01lsw]

Great vid, Tony! Thank you so much for making this vlog. It's helpful for me to visualize how the Boston looks like as I will be running there in two weeks. I was a bit worried you couldn't finish strong when I saw you walking after Newtons. I am very emotional to look at you running the last two miles and keep cheering you on from Hong Kong. Amazing finish time! Congratulations!!! So inspirational!

[@saaddaas4114]

you did it. keep the beautiful smile.

[@askg4563]

You are awesome man. Great job

Brilliant vlog - well done. I was there last year in the sunshine and got "one sided" sun burn as a badge of honour to go with the medal !!!

[@TonyJamesRunning]

Oh no but so awesome at the same time lol

[@rmfickfack]

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! I was running on Monday too and it was so incredibly magical. Boston is unreal.

[@TonyJamesRunning]

It's a great place & run. Wife got stuck on the greenline for 90 minutes due to a broken down train

[@JoeFleegel]

I really appreciate you sharing your Boston experience with us. It is a tough course and I'm sure the rain didn't help. You ran a great race.

[@TonyJamesRunning]

Thank you, despite it all I enjoyed the whole day

Great vid. My husband is doing Boston for the first time and he's a bit anxious about all the logistics. This was really helpful.

Great video summing up how truly wonderful this marathon is! I’ve run 2 Bostons and I’m going back in 2024! I actually spotted myself in your video walking after crossing the finish line - I was just a few mins ahead of you 😊 For me it was an all time PB 🎉 Best marathon in the world 💙💛

Thank you, Tony, for this wonderful video! And congratulations! You capture the excitement of this particular marathon beautifully!
