All runners’ hearts turn to Boston today– the one true mecca of marathons.
Every runner will be working hard, but Richard Hoyt will be pushing his son Rick in his wheelchair for their 26th Boston Marathon today. This father/son duo have completed 958 races together and with times that any runner would be proud of.
“The thing I’d most like,” Rick types, “is that my dad sit in the chair and I push him once.”
Thanks to Claudia for finding me this fantastic video.
