Boston Strong

I can't blog about running without acknowledging Monday's tragedy at the Boston marathon. I have been utterly consumed by images, interviews, and accounts of the event. It's pretty unproductive, but I, like most people, just want answers. I know on a theoretical level, evil exists as the absence of the good, of God. But I just need some information, a motive, so I can wrap my head around what occurred. I can't stop asking, Why?

It is just so sad that an event intended to be a celebration of dedication and success was targeted like this. At first I thought what a shame for something so senseless to cast a dark shadow over the running community a negatively impact future races, but instead I see the running community, and the nation as a whole, come together to support Boston. It is inspiring. I've mentioned briefly before about offering up runs in prayer. From here on out, I will be praying and running for Boston every single training run. 

Boston Strong.
