I read one yesterday about the Boston tragedy that said the bomber just pissed off a lot of people who can run faster than he can and don't give up. It's very inspiring to see everyone pulling together.Jenhttp://myrevitolscarcreamreviews.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-57728957761923931292013-04-18T07:40:41.000-04:002013-04-18T07:40:41.000-04:00I'm in runner in DC and I'm interested in ...I'm in runner in DC and I'm interested in the run for boston community runs that are going on but this is the first time I'm hearing about them.

I hope you can shake the feeling of apprehension soon, but in the meantime, maybe it would help to carry your phone on your runs, that way you won't feel so cut off. Just a suggestion! Good luck on your 5th MCM!Jesshttp://jessruns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-20276733551869866532013-04-18T06:32:58.000-04:002013-04-18T06:32:58.000-04:00Hi Jess,Long time reader, first time poster. :) ...Hi Jess,<br>Long time reader, first time poster. :) I live near DC as well, and came across your blog a year or two ago looking for race recaps of the MCM - I'll run my 5th MCM later this year. I've never commented before, but I thought this was a great post. I feel like I've had a really different reaction than the majority that I've (and you've) seen on facebook and social media. <br><br>I tried to head out to Burke Lake Park on Tuesday afternoon and run a lap to clear my head, but I was struck by the fear that hit me. I suddenly thought that running from my car and cell phone alone on a trail (despite being surrounded by plenty of people enjoying the nice day) was just the dumbest thing I could do. I felt completely vulnerable and exposed. I have a treadmill at home, so I haven't quit running, I just can't shake that feeling of...apprehension? dread? something... <br><br>I'm doing the Wounded Warrior 5k on Saturday, so I'll get out and run then, but I wonder how long the fear and sadness will last.Kelli Wnoreply@blogger.com
