For Kathy Smith, it took 16 years of walking, jogging, stress fractures, 100+ half marathons, two volunteer stints at the Boston finish line — and finally, a lottery win through her employer, Bank of America. Recorded live at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza during 2026 Boston Marathon weekend, this conversation with Chris Detzel is raw, emotional, and deeply motivating. Kathy talks about what it meant to help wheelchair athletes at the finish line, why she never chased a BQ, and the corner near the medical tent she plans to run to the moment she crosses Boylston Street. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start running or too big a dream to reach Boston — Kathy's story is your answer. 🎙️ DFW Running Talk | Part of the Boston Bound: DFW's Road to Hopkinton Series 📬 dfwrunningtalk.substack.com","meta_description":"What does it take to go from nearly 200 pounds and no fitness routine to crossing the finish line of the world's most iconic marathon?
