2014 Boston Marathon

I Will Finish What I Started

IMG_2208

I have woken up every morning and gone to bed every night thinking about what happened last year at the Boston Marathon. No matter how much I tried to write about that experience and what I saw, I just couldn’t find the words and attempted to squash that heartfelt emotion for way too long.
Today is different!
Today, I feel proud and humbled to be given a second opportunity.
Today, I Run4Papa.
Today, I run for #BostonStrong
Today, I run for the spectators who were at the right place at the wrong time.
Today, I run to honor those who tragically lost their lives.
Today, I run for the countless supporters of all 36,000 fellow marathoners and their causes.
Today, I run because I love life and I believe in redemption.
Today, we run together.

A year ago, I said, “I will finish what I started” and I intend to deliver on that promise. #R4PinBoston #26.2ahead
