I Heard The Tragedy, Now I ...

.... ran 2.62 miles in honor of Boston in one of my favorite race shirt.
Not the usual celebratory 2.62 miles I usually run on the day of the Boston Marathon. These were quiet miles. Miles ran with a heavy heart. 

I still can't believe it happened. 
Such things only happen in other countries. 
Only happen at malls and movie theaters. 
Not at a sporting event where people of all shapes, sizes, colors, nationalities convene. 
Not to runners who are one of the most supportive, accepting folks around. 
Not to good people like runners. 

I ran with a heavy heart. 
I pray to God, thanking him for watching over those who are not injured. 
I pray to God, asking him to heal, physically and emotionally, those who are injured.
I pray to God, asking him to comfort families who lost their loves ones. 
I pray to God, asking him to show us how to stop such evil, and prevent such tragedy. 

I pray to God today.
