Running the Boston Marathon was on Julie McGivery's bucket list, although crossing the finish line while 32 weeks pregnant was not the way she had planned to do it. 'I can't count how many times people yelled out, 'Go Mama,' or, 'You're my inspiration, you're my hero.' - Boston Marathoner Julie McGivery"Today was a day that I've been waiting for for a very long time," McGivery said after the marathon. "I can't tell the story that I almost ran the Boston Marathon and I quit because my feet hurt — I needed to finish this." As she ran past the marathon's spectators, Julie McGivery says 'I don't know how many times I heard, 'Oh my God, she's pregnant.'
