For the past six months I have been sidelined from running due to injury. But things definitely go into perspective in light of what happened in Boston. I had many friends and teammates running the marathon and when I first heard about what happened, a moment of fear set in. Luckily, no one I knew was hurt but that does not change the disgusting and unimaginable of what happened to the victims and their families at a world class sporting event. It just breaks my heart and brings me to near tears when I think how these people's lives have changed forever. Sports usually are exempt from the awful stuff happening in the world. Has this changed? I really hope not! So as I slowly restart my running (I did 2km yesterday!), my mind and heart and prayers are with the families and friends of Boston. I will continue to run and hope that somehow sports can still unite the world and be a symbol of peace and harmony. I am a runner. I will run.
