Sad

I'm so sad about the deaths and injuries from the Boston Marathon bombing.   It's especially heartbreaking that one of the victims was an 8 year old boy trying to give his father a hug as he finished the race.   Just a week earlier, I had Luke and Matthew at the finish line of the Go St. Louis Marathon waiting for Kris and the relay team to finish.   Luke was excited to give Kris a hug and congratulate him on "going fast."   The boys have been there at the finish of many runs, at least 2 Air Force half-marathons, and the Flying Pig half-marathon.     It's such a happy place to be, and now this happens.    I'm definitely glad now that the boys won't be at the Flying Pig Marathon finish line when Kris and I cross it in three weeks.
