17 april 10.38 am

Norwell — Mark Pelletier, a Norwell resident, finished running Monday’s Boston Marathon at 2:46 p.m.. He missed the explosions at the finish line by four minutes and half a block.

Pelletier’s kids -- Elise, 22 and Michael, 24 -- were in the grandstands waiting for their father to cross the finish line.

After he had finished, they waited for another runner to cross as well and, as a result, witnessed the explosions.

“I got half a block away and heard a loud boom,” Pelletier recalled. “I went back to see where the kids were, but they weren’t letting anyone over to where the grandstands are.”

Pelletier said he was ushered off and an officer told him no one was injured where his kids had been sitting. With cell phone service turned off, Pelletier said, he wasn’t able to call home and talk to his wife for five or 10 minutes.

When he finally did reach her, though, she told him the kids had contacted her and were okay.

When the explosions first occurred, Pelletier said, he thought a transformer had exploded, but knew otherwise when he saw a plume of smoke.

“I could see the smoke was rising on the right side,” he said. “It made me feel a little better because my kids were on the left.”

Elise Pelletier said that, after hugging their father at the finish line, she and her brother waited with a spectator for another runner to also cross the finish line. That’s when they witnessed the first explosion.

Mark Pelletier, of Norwell, Mass., who manages an architectural services firm, had just finished the marathon, having stopped at the grandstand on the right side of the street before crossing the finish line, to hug his two children. He said he had not gone far past the line when he heard the first blast. Mr. Pelletier at first thought it might have been the sound of an exploding transformer.

He tried to run back to the grandstand, where his children Michael, 24, and Elise, 22, had been standing, but was stopped by a police officer. Mr. Pelletier was able to reach his wife by cell phone, but his phone battery soon died – he'd been using it to monitor his progress over the course. Eventually he was able to borrow a cell phone and arrange a reunion with his children, who said they had run from the scene after the twin explosions.

"It's funny," Mr. Pelletier said. "It was like a perfect day for me. I ran my best time: it was 14 minutes better than my last time. And my kids were there."

"I hope they find these people," he added, "and I hope justice is swift."
