Why I Run

I'm running the Run For Boston 5k this weekend with the ladies in my family. In anticipation for this awesome event (which is giving 100% of entry fees to the Who Says I Can’t Foundation and directly to support the rehabilitation of those who lost limbs as a result of the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon), I'm over on the Run For Boston 5K website. Check out my guest post on the Run For Boston 5k blog today!

Praying for Boston

I hadn't intended to post again today. But, I got to the gym and had my computer in my bag. And for some reason, before I could start a workout, I felt this post tugging at my heart.

For those of you who know my sister, who lives in Boston and was at the race to watch a friend, she is safe. So is Lindsay, which I now know, thanks to Twitter.

I guess the thing that is hitting me right now is that today was not just any regular day. It was supposed to be a day of triumph. Of victory. A day on which men and women who have trained for weeks, months, years, finally cross that finish line, and we all cheer in celebration.

But there is no celebrating. Not, at least, the way it was meant to be. My prayers go out to those who are injured or have passed and their friends and family.
