@thefashionjogger: In 1967, when people believed WOMEN weren't suited for LONG DISTANCE RUNNING, Kathrine Switzer decided to make history ❤️ After her, the Boston Marathon officially opened to women in 1972 💪 Kathrine Switzer became the 1st woman to officially complete the Boston Marathon and opened the way for women runners. She proved us that we are unstoppable and that dreams must be followed ✨ So go out, show up and don’t be scared…we are strong,l and we can do it 👍 Looking forward run the Boston Marathon! @Boston Marathon #Running #marathon #motivation #bostonmarathon #women
The fact that her boyfriend helped her finish ❤️❤️

These stories make it seem like this was a lifetime ago but the fact that she’s still alive and healthy makes me shiver.

The first woman to run the Boston marathon was Bobbi Gibb, unregistered but she did it in 1966, right before Kathrine.

Also, the race manager was the one who had to present her with the 3rd place metal 5 years after her initial run🥰

I'll probably never run the Boston marathon but it's nice to know myself and other females have the option.

Not only is this amazing but she ran it again 50 years later. I’d cry if I met her in person. Not because I’m a runner ( I hate running l) but what she did for women 💪💪💪💪💪💪

Can we also have a shout out to the men protecting her, realising that it was messaged up and choosing to stand beside her

also, a fact about her first marathon: right after running the marathon she discovered the front page of the Boston News which titled that a woman ran the Boston Marathon for the first time, but didn’t finish it. She finished the marathon so she tracked the reporter to ask him why he wrote that she didn’t finish the race. He had to send his article really fast so it could print in time to make the news the day after and didn’t have the time to wait for the results: he just assumed she wouldn’t finish the marathon.
