Grief

I was in the middle of writing a post yesterday when I learned of the horrific Boston bombings. That post will stay unpublished as it just seems inappropriate and trivial now after yesterday's events.

The Boston bombings hit me hard. I don't know why it's hit me so much harder than the other tragedies of late, but it has. I am sad, shocked and struggling to have faith in humanity. So much has been said on social media already, and to be honest, I don't have the words right now.

I'd like to share some of my favorite photos from my Boston Marathon experiences. These help me remember the light in the darkness of yesterday.













On Sunday, I will be running my 22nd marathon - and this one will be for you, Boston.

    I am still in shock. It is so unreal. I think it hits you (and even myself)so hard because I feel like our friends were attacked.


    Thank you for sharing your Boston pictures with us. It really brought some tears to my eyes.



    Good luck this Sunday. I will be thinking of you.

    I LOVE that you have a picture with Maddy! She is so fantastic and crushed the race on Sunday... But on a serious note..Thank you for running for us. People in Boston will truly appreciate it. I sure do.

    I still can't believe what happened at the marathon and everything that happened afterwards. It seems way too shocking to be real but then we live in a very weird age...

    It's very trouble-free to find out any matter on net as compared to textbooks, as I found this paragraph at this site.

    Hi are using Wordpress for your blog platform?

    I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying to get started and create
    my own. Do you need any coding knowledge to make your own blog?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
