Christine Nielsen, checking in...
We were at our usual spot on Heartbreak Hill. My brother ran his 5th
marathon today, and we were also watching for a cousin, and a couple
of friends to come by.
Long story short: my brother crossed the finish about one minute
ahead of the blast. He was approx 500 feet away, in the chutes.
Another friend of ours was with him. There were a nervous few minutes
between the time I heard the first rumors of explosions -- texts were
coming in, and my teenage son was also getting updates from the world
beyond the Hill -- and the time I heard from my sister in law that
Bill was ok. Still, it was tense until he managed to get home --
image the chaos in that vicinity, plus the post-marathon daze he must
have been in. I think adrenaline carried him home.
My cousin, and a couple of other friends, had just crested Heartbreak
Hill when runners were told to stop. They were detained for a while
until a headcount of runners had been taken.
On my way home, eventually, heading south out of the city... at least
25-30 emergency vehicles heading into the city, lights flashing,
passed on the other side of the highway.
Finally home just 30 mins ago, turned on the tv news. That lasted
about 3 minutes. I feel sick.

Nope. She lives pretty far out in Hingham and I don't think she is a
marathon fan. If I find out anything I'll post.
