The best of Marathon Monday

From Hopkinton to Heartbreak Hill

Be sure to check out the best photos from the day and a live blog of today’s events.

Did you marathon in the mods?

The #BostonMarathon isn't until Monday, but this afternoon I saw several eager participants warming up on Boylston Street, site of the race's finish. . . . #whponthego
