Boston Has My Heart.

Today the tragedy of the two bombs going off during the Boston Marathon broke my heart. It's hard for me to even think about it without tearing up. Although I wasn't there, my heart goes out to all of the runners and bystanders that were watching the marathon that were injured or had their lives taken. This kind of thing makes me wonder what this world is coming to and the scary fact that no matter how prepared we are, we never know what's going to happen...everything can change in a split second. Something that hurts me deeply is the lower injuries that were a result of the explosion. Many runners and bystanders lost their legs and or their feet. As a runner myself this hurts my heart to the core. These runners were about to cross the finish line in triumph when all of a sudden their lives changed forever...many won't be able to run again.

 I don't know who could know this and not want to do something about it. I wish I could be there to help and do something besides having to sit here hoping everyone is okay. I feel like it is my responsibility to do something to honor the runners in that marathon because we share the same love and we are all family. From now on I'm not just running, I'm running for Boston and everyone injured. I'm running for those runners who had to experience this horror. I'm running for those that might not be able to run again. So for anyone who has friends or loved ones in Boston who were part of this heartbreaking devastation, THIS IS FOR YOU. To any of the runners who might be reading this or won't be able to, I AM RUNNING FOR YOU. If you can't run anymore and the only thing that I can do is be your legs then that is exactly what I will do. I will be your legs. My whole heart and my prayers are with you. Stay Strong, you are not alone.

You have fought the good fight,
You have finished the race,
You have kept the faith.
