One year ago our hearts were ripped from our chest. A day that is suppose to ignite the fire in our hearts, was instead taken away from us. The hours of training, the sacrifice all of it over in an instance. All that hard work taken away, without the sense of accomplishment.
In the midst of the pain and heartache, we as runners did not falter. We ran to the nearest hospitals to give blood, and help others. We as runners, all over the world ran for those that had their dream of a Boston Marathon Finish taken away. We as runners ran untied. We wore our blue and yellow to support our fellow runners and we took it to the streets to Run for Boston!
This is such a sweet post! I don't consider myself a runner--I try to jog a bit--but this is such a terrible tragedy it is sweet to see those people honored!
ReplyDeleteToday is such an emotional day... I can't even tell you how proud I am of these runners and the city of Boston for the strength they're shown over the last year. Boston Strong indeed.
