The Green Girl and fellow
Sole Runner, Krishna, joined runners across the world today to participate in a
Runners United To Remember run.
The
RunJunkEes helped organize this virtual event to honor the victims of yesterday's tragic events at the
Boston Marathon and display an act of unity and solidarity among runners.
Participants were encouraged to wear a shirt from a race on the memorial run.
As Krishna and I ran along The Strand, the gusty winds whipped sand across our faces. I was grateful for the company.
Our words echoed those of runners all over the world as we struggled to understand the senseless acts.

It's heartbreaking. Why a marathon? It's the last place you'd expect an act of terrorism. Can you imagine after running 26.2 miles? They knew when the most runners would be finishing. The finish line is where family and friends wait for you. There are no words...
We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves. The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable.
