In perspective, although Henline Hen-line finished in 10,600 place, she was only an hour and 21 minutes behind the winner. Combine that with the fact that she started out in 15,136 place and one begins to get a sense of how well she did. However, none of this matters to Henline who says the highlight of the trip was just being in the marathon. "For runners the Boston Marathon is kind of hke the Superbowl." Superbowl-like it is, complete with the tens of thousands of screaming fans which became the greatest challenge to Henline. Hen-line.

Although it is not the end of running for Henline, it is a crowning achievement to an 8 and a half year hobby. Henline began the sport as a way to lose weight, she enjoyed it and so she competed in the St. George Marathon. Hertime,3hoursand 39 minutes, qualified her for the event in Boston.
