Afraid and panicked, Arnie leapt to her defense, blocking Catherine and urging Jock to leave them alone. Next came the sound of a huge thud. Big Tom launched himself at Jock with a crossbody block knocking him to the ground. Frozen in disbelief, Arnie told Katherine to run like hell, and she did. With the press truck following close behind, the entire altercation was caught on camera.

Yeah, the full story. It's such an iconic image that... is tied so closely to the Boston Marathon, which maybe is why we've both seen it. I wonder if everyone around the U.S. is like, yeah, I've seen it. Or if specifically because we grew up in New England, we're like, yeah, we know that image.

Right. It's like, don't distract me when I'm in my moment here and try and bring me down. But it doesn't work. Despite being cold, anxious, and processing all of the day's events, Catherine knew that she had a mission. Dropping out would only support the existing belief that women were not capable of handling the physical or mental strain of a marathon.
