These green shoes of mine are headed to the 700 mile mark. I wore them in Boston last year, and wanted to wear them again. 8.5 on the TM. I couldn't muster much speed. Today's events are a bit of a sucker punch. I feel bad for all the runners who worked so hard to reach the pinnacle of recreational running, only to have their accomplishment overshadowed (justly) by the actions of some craven individual(s). Of course, my sorrow ratchets up an order of magnitude for those traumatized, injured and killed by the bombs. What a weird day. |
