I'm running because I was saddened and strengthened by the bombings last year. It made my resolve to continue running and racing even stronger and to return to run the Boston Marathon again. I decided it was time to give back to the sport that has given me so much these last 5 years I have been running and what better way that to raise money for the victims of the bombings. They were out supporting the runners and celebrating them. My heart still goes out to all the families. Boston Strong!!!! It is the least I can do to help these families.
