I wanted to write something yesterday regarding my feelings on the Boston Marathon bombing but I just didn't have the heart to put it into words. Suffice to say I was sickened, saddened, and numb at the thought of anyone inflicting such senseless violence. It particularly hit home because I've recently started running again and have immersed myself into the online community. Runners are such an upbeat lot, and so open to sharing their experiences, triumphs and setbacks. There is an uncomplicated joy that comes from using your body in such a natural way, and it shines through in those who do it regularly. I am just a beginner, but even I can appreciate that aspect of it.
I will leave the topic at that. Not mentioning it at all seemed wrong, but I also don't want to be one of those who avidly recounts every gruesome detail and obsesses over the event. The victims and their loved ones are in my thoughts.
A day-by-day journal of my attempt to seek the ultimate vitality and well-being.
