In Solidarity

It's been a while since I've posted but I'm horrified by what happened at the Boston Marathon this morning. Bomb blasts at a road race? That's just crazy. Three deaths, with 144 injuries, so far. Still don't know why. I'm surprised and touched by the friends and acquaintances who were concerned for my safety, thinking I may have been there. I'm too slow to qualify for Boston. I never expect to qualify for Boston. But many people are wearing a race shirt tomorrow to show their support for the runners, volunteers, spectators, and first responders. I will be, too. Because I'm a marathoner. I'm a runner.
