NBC10 Boston and NECN meteorologist Tevin Wooten is running the 128th Boston Marathon on Monday.
"I've got asthma and had it since birth and so being a child not able to participate in athletic activity with some of my friends really set me apart. So, I wanted to do this to prove to myself and other asthmatics that you can run," said Wooten.Asthma has not stopped him as he is representing the Boston Medical Center with over 80 team members, with their goal of raising $800,000.
He has been training since the fall, battling the occasional knee injury and"training in the middle of winter of New England is not easy, but I think it gives you that toughness, right?" said Wooten."Yeah, like I don't know. Being from the south, I actually like the heat more," he said. And when you run a marathon, your lifestyle changes a lot, so you can imagine he has some cravings that he is going to address when he finishes.
