April 15th: Boston Marathon

As we all know, the Boston Marathon did not end the way it was supposed to.  We had four NACHOs racing; Jon, Vihann, Gretchen and Kevin.  Gretchen and Kevin were unable to finish due to the chaos at the finish line, but thankfully were able to meet up with Anne and Brian and get warm inside.  Jon and Vihann squeaked through, finishing in 2:56:56 (Jon) and 3:56:09 (Vihann).  Congrats to all of the runners for having strong races, and we are so happy and thankful that you're all okay.
