Alastair Stevenson is thankful he was able to finish the Boston Marathon in the time he did. Had he not, the tragic circumstances unfolding in downtown Boston might have personally affected him. "
My wife, Melanie, was sitting in the same exact spot (where the explosion occurred) for five hours," Stevenson, cross country coach for both the men's and women's teams at the University of Mobile, said today.
