UPPER BURRELL, Pa.—With the one year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings approaching, 2013 participants throughout the country say they have emotional memories about the race, but don’t fear running in it again.

So crazy…and awful! Bombings, stabbings…so sad! We have to remember all the good things that happen too! It’s too bad tv, news, radio, etc always focus on the bad things that happen. There should be news stories about weddings and parties and random acts of kindness 🙂
I’m glad the race went off without a hitch this year!
I’m with B! I’m so glad it went so well this year!
