Norcross Runner in Boston Marathon Dodges Explosion

Norcross resident David Brunner ran in the Boston Marathon on Monday and was lucky enough to finish and leave the race by the time the explosions occurred.

"We're trying to take it all in and figure out where to go from here," said Brunner, who is in Boston with his mom and her husband. "We're very fortunate."

Brunner, 49, is one of the five runners from Norcross who are listed on the Boston Marathon website. He finished the race at a personal record of three hours and five minutes, while the explosions took place at four hours and nine minutes on the race clock.

"I was already back at the hotel room," he said. "I had already taken a shower. I think I was just lucky to switch the television on, rather than taking a nap."
