Boston Babysitter and Barista Qualifies For 2020 Olympics In Her First-Ever Marathon

Author Jackson Blue
March 4th, 2020 2:53 PM

This is proof that you can do almost anything if you put your mind on it and work into it. Congratulations to 25 year-old Boston resident Molly Seidel who ran her first marathon this past Saturday in Atlanta… and qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games this summer in Tokyo.

Seidel placed 2nd in the U.S. Olympic marathon trials, becoming one of three American women qualifying for the 2020 Olympics. She finished with a time of 2:27:31, second only to Aliphine Tuliamuk, another soon-to-be first-time-Olympian.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN ???? #queenAliphine . Before the Houston Half back in Jan I was worried my training wasn't enough, that I couldn't work out as hard as veteran marathoners did. A really smart friend sitting with me on the bus to the start said "Why do you compare your workouts to others? You aren't them so your training isn't their training. Last year I was injured and could only train for 6 weeks but I ran my best marathon; if you trust that your body is strong it will do great things" (spoiler, it was @aliphine ) . Aliphine, you are an incredible woman and one of the all-around nicest people I know. And now you're the freakin' MARATHON TRIALS CHAMPION! You've showed me an indomitable spirit can do anything; I wouldn't have made this team without your strength and support those final six miles. You deserve every second of this joy. #olympictrials #teamUSA #roadtotokyo2020

Molly works two jobs in Boston – babysitting and as a barista – in order to pursue running. It obviously has paid off. Congratulations on all of your hard work leading up to going to the Olympics, By-Golly-Molly! Boston is super proud of you!
