STOCKTON, CA - Janet Dial of Stockton had just finished running the Boston Marathon Monday when she heard the two explosions near the finish line.

Her first thoughts were for her elderly parents who were in a nearby building watching.

"All the emergency personnel came to us and said 'keep walking, get through the line, keep walking.' Then a second one went off. Of course I was horrified: My parents were in that church at the finish line," said Dial.

It was the eighth time Dial had run the Boston Marathon and the first time her parents had gone there from the Stockton area to see her compete.

"It shook your whole body," Dial said of the explosions. "My parents said the whole church they were inside shook. It was less than 50 yards from where we were."

Dial said the mayor of Boston had told visitors like herself to stay in their hotels for now.
