Processing and Healing...
Hi everyone,
So I have been MIA for the past several days. My last post was Monday morning, smiling from ear to ear about one of my favorite days in springtime in Boston, Marathon Monday. That smile turned to tears just a few hours later, when I first heard of the senseless tragedy that occurred at the finish line.
I spent several hours after the bombings attempting to tracking down my friends. Thankfully, all are safe and accounted for, but unfortunately, this cannot be said about nearly 200 victims.
The past 3 days have been rough for the city of Boston, but we are a resilient, strong community of people. Not only do we have each other, but the entire nation. We feel the support across the world, and for that, I, as a resident of this historical and amazing city, am thankful. I am Boston, I am strong. I am Boston Strong.
Here is to looking forward in the wake of this tragic event,

As your Connecticut neighbor and your bloggy friend, I'm sending all my thoughts and prayers to you guys. My school is five minutes from Sandy Hook and we just went though a tragic December. Take care of yourself, and vent all you want!

As a runner, it was a SHOCK to me when I heard about this senseless tragedy! So glad to hear all your friends are safe. I was worried about a few of my running buds too, and was so relieved to hear they were ok. T and P!
