Boston 2013 In My Heart

I can’t believe yesterday happened.

I woke up yesterday pretty excited to track the Boston Marathon online, but around 3PM the news broke.  I don’t need to write here about the details of the attacks.  You’ve already seen it all.  You’ve seen the photos, heard about the turmoil, and watched the footage on TV. 

When I heard about the news I wanted to cry – and in fact when I got home after work and saw more of the news coverage, my eyes started to fill with tears. 

I knew a lot of my blogger friends were running in Boston and I kept checking social media to make sure they were ok (and they were).  But as the headlines kept coming in, the news just kept getting worse and worse.

As a runner, it makes me tremendously upset that someone would take that joy away on a day that runners should be celebrating their amazing accomplishments. 

I can’t seem to get the words out to write anything else today.

I’ll probably never qualify to run a race like Boston, but I still feel so effected by it. Such an awful occurrence, sad.

I completely agree. I know there are some horrible people in this world, but I still can’t believe they would do that.
