Monday a running friend of mine sent me a Facebook invite for a group forming to run 26.2 miles for the Boston Marathoners. I don't know anyone who ran the race except for SkinnyRunner and I don't know her, I just stalk her blog. But it saddens me to think about the runners and their families waiting at the finish. (Kev is always waiting for me at the finish). I'll never qualify for a big race like Boston, but I do love my half marathons and plan on traveling and running different cities in the years to come. Some big, some small.
As of Monday afternoon I have ran a total of 9 miles for the Boston Marathoners. I have 17.2 to go. Today's run was a wet one. I intended to get five miles in but by mile two I was soaked and it was hard to see out of my glasses, so I turned around and came on home. I managed 3.6 miles. I've never really ran in hard rain before. Boy do your shoes get heavy when they're wet! But I made it. I kept thinking about the conditions the Marathoners trained in and knew I could make it a few more miles in heavy wet shoes.
My college roommate lives in Malaysia now. She posted the pray for Boston sign on Facebook this morning. She saw it in the park this morning while she was running her miles for Boston. I love the fact that worldwide people stand together in the mist of tragedy .
