She runs the 'Super Bowl of Marathons' April 15.

On April 15th, Beech Hill Elementary School Nurse Maureen Bodkin will have 26.2 reasons to be proud. She will be running in the Boston Marathon, appropriately dubbed “the Super Bowl of Marathons” as it is the second most widely viewed sporting event only behind the Super Bowl.

Bodkin has been running marathons for 8 years and set a goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon before the age of 40. She achieved this goal in 2011 and again in 2012.
