Today I will run for Boston

I haven't ran in a few days, so today I will put my running shoes back on and get out there for Boston.

I think of the runners who trained years for their first Boston marathon yet were not able to finish; the children who are now crippled before they ever had a chance to run; and the family members whose love and support of their runner put them in a complete war zone.

Today I will run for them.

I'm from Boston and this morning I ran 3 miles for Martin Richard, the 8 year old who needlessly lost his life yesterday

Thank you. I've been struggling with motivation to go out but this is an excellent reason to shrug off my personal dilemmas and offer my thoughts to someone somewhere who needs them.

I thought of all those affected this morning when I ran 3.1 miles for the first time. I realized that some of them may have been like me at this time last year, hitting their first goal. And that they had this huge accomplishment of running a marathon just utterly destroyed by this madness.
