Fighting for Last Place: Former 400-pound Man Completes the Boston Marathon
Jacob Seilheimer ran the Boston Marathon yesterday. He did not qualify, he did not finish before they took down the course. But he did finish, in 9 hours…
I kept to the side as they let a few groupings of several thousands of runners pass. I’m going on the record as saying that I’ve never been visually-assaulted as much I was during the time period.
And it was not all in my head.
I got a few dozens NASTY looks from other runners. Some snickers. Some laughs. blah. blah. blah.
It’s been awhile since I’ve felt that uncomfortable.
However, there were quite a few runners that won’t out of there way to tell me congrats on making this far and good luck…
