When I got home from school today I found out about the explosions that took place near the finish of the Boston Marathon. I've not necessarily associated myself more but felt more in common with runners since I started my project. I cannot imagine what it is like to finish 26 miles and have such a tragedy occur, and it frightens me that such a thing can happen in such a typical place at an unexpected event. It's almost like you just get caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time and are a completely innocent person whose safety and protection is lost. It scares me to think that this can happen at an event where the people only have the best intentions and are accomplishing something that many of us cannot even imagine.
That being said, my thoughts and prayers to those in Boston-- stay safe.
Amen to that! As a runner/coach, I felt totally violated by the incident at the Marathon.
