Honestly, I've been racking my brain wondering about what horrible things could happen at Detroit for our Marathon, especially in some of the areas that are really isolated from the crowds, where someone could plant something and hurt a bunch of runner out where it would take a while for people to even notice or react. That and the tunnel and bridge could be a very scary situation. It's a shame this had to happen, and there are people that have lost their lives and whose lives are never going to be the same. I think we all empathize with those people to some degree, given that it easily could have been us or our loved ones in the same situation at another race.<br /> <br />I think it's tightened the running community, and people have been very supportive of Boston, not to mention all the people that now want to get to that race even more and are stepping up their training to do so.<br /><br />Vaudiophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120467461814379463noreply@blogger.com
