I know...my son (who is 13) kept asking why I was crying. I tried to explain what the Boston Marathon means to so many people, and what it means to cross any finish line....what a joy filled day it was for so many...and then the explosions. I tried to explain to him as a medical person ( I am a NP in an ER) and the toll it takes on providers and staff and EMS and Police. He understood it was bad, but I think he saw it from a few different sides and the humanity of it. He looked at me and said, Mom, you need to make sure that you go for your ride. He is a smart boy. I went and met up with a new group of ladies riders. It was good to be among people who understood it (not that anyone ever understands anything this horrible) and I rode for 17 miles. I laughed and cried....and tomorrow I will run.
Lots of 5K's, 10K's., 4 1/2 Marathons, 3 Sprint Triathlon done. 2 Olympics and my First IRONMAN 70.3 September 2013 and First Full Marathon Dec 2013 !!!!!

How wise of your son! And very true, that these things we're not supposed to understand - cruelty should be beyond the comprehension of compassionate people.... All we can do is say a prayer and refuse to be kept down - - run, ride and do it in the memory of those lost & injured.
