My dad talked me into a running a marathon. I agreed, and we trained and ran the Columbus Marathon together in 2008. While we trained for the marathon he frequently talked about us running Boston together. In the summer of 2016, I was in the best shape of my life and training for a fall marathon, with the hope of finally qualifying for Boston. A month before the marathon, we got devastating news – my dad was diagnosed with brain cancer.
