Marathoner spells out "BOSTON STROG" and lights up Instagram

It's not often that I share stories from the Indian Express, but here's one that tickled my fancy.
Massachussetts nurse Lindsay Devers was all booked in to compete in the prestigious Boston Marathon this year, but, like so many other events, the Boston Marathon was cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, Ms. Devers decided to do her own marathon along a custom-designed route that would spell out "BOSTON STRONG" in her GPS tracker.
Cool idea, right? Unfortunately, Ms. Devers miscalculated and her GPS boldly and clearly spelled out "BOSTON STROG".
To her everlasting credit, she decided to laugh at her own mistake, and proudly published it anyway to Instagram, where she garnered lots of praise, both for her run and for gamely owning her spelling error.
