Yes. Whether you..."These are my people."<br /><br />Yes. Whether you were in Boston on Monday or not, this attack felt personal and hit us all close to home. We have all been the runner and the spectator at marathons around the country. We've all stood where these innocent families stood on Monday, hoping to get a glimpse of our loved ones. They attacked our community. It's devastating, and I don't know what to say or do to make it better. I just hope that despite the violation, runners will continue to bond together and that our community will stay strong...and never stop running.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664437741176387084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582324006220520894.post-213799550749185372013-04-16T21:02:49.442-07:002013-04-16T21:02:49.442-07:00'We run a little harder today'.

And go out of his/her way to time the bombs so that they could hurt the most people possible. It's just awful and disgusting.Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03727962785272117519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582324006220520894.post-12866254184439421602013-04-16T13:36:45.430-07:002013-04-16T13:36:45.430-07:00This expresses exactly how I feel.

Marathons are life-affirming for those who run and those who support them, so it's just totally impossible to even try to comprehend why somebody would do this. Here in London all the runners will be wearing black ribbons in the marathon this Sunday.LeggingItSlowlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343408576770442714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582324006220520894.post-63466858186840074382013-04-16T13:03:20.869-07:002013-04-16T13:03:20.869-07:00Well said. <3
