I did watch the 117th running of the Boston marathon yesterday, on-line, live. It was so exciting. Dick and Ricky Hoyt, Team Hoyt, ran their 31st Boston, and a bronze statue in their honor was unveiled in Hopkinton where the race starts.
American Shalane Flanagan came in 4th for the women, Kara Goucher was 6th. Jason Hartmann from here in Boulder was 4th for the men.
Who would have imagined possible the devastation that followed just a few hours later on such a joyful and accomplishment-filled day. The Boston marathon is an event all runners dream about. This act of terrorism will not change that. Boston will come back stronger than ever.
