It is so much easier to destroy, to bomb, to kill than it would have been to train and qualify to run Boston. I choose to train and to create a more positive world. Maybe someday even work my way to Boston!Michael Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099990.post-90656143836508127992013-04-15T21:16:00.655-04:002013-04-15T21:16:00.655-04:00Well said.Well said.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593303445795627506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099990.post-37026430050742204782013-04-15T20:44:15.034-04:002013-04-15T20:44:15.034-04:00This has been a difficult day for me, DD. I'm...This has been a difficult day for me, DD. I'm a member of two "tribes" that this impacts. First, I'm a runner. I've been slacking off quite a bit over the past month, though, because life has been very busy for me. But I am signed up for Chicago in the fall (would be my 1st full). While yes, I'm a little concerned, I am also determined to run it more than ever now and pick up my running again.<br /><br />Why have I been busy? Well, my other "tribe" is law enforcement (midwest; nowhere near Boston, but this tribe is big...just like runners). And I got promoted today. These attacks on our homeland anger me, and I have a deep desire to help in any way I can. <br /><br />These emotions of being sickened, saddened, determined, patriotic, etc. can be difficult to deal with. It feels like 9/11 all over again, but feels like it is getting closer and closer to "home" for me...probably because it is impacting my "tribes." <br /><br />Read your blog post here and it rang true with me...so I thought I'd vent a little as this has really been consuming my thoughts today. My heart goes out to the runners, volunteers, families, first responders (these scenes are awful to work), etc. <br /><br />Thanks for the post, and for the space to vent.

I just started running ...I agree with you totally. I just started running a couple of years ago and I too believe that I have gain so much from the running community. We are all a special kind of people. That was such a senseless act. I will praying for all those affected.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716941463128440268noreply@blogger.com
