it was suppose to be a fun day...

there are so many pictures and videos being played right now on the news regarding the boston marathon explosion but for me, this captured everything.  a victim lying on the ground, the american flag on the ground with blood stains, and yet you see a young man comforting the victim amid all the chaos.  

i try to avoid posting anything relating to news but this hits close to "home".  even though i do not run marathons, i do run twice a week and i'm a part of a running club here in NYC.  i know at least 5 people in my running club who participated in today's marathon.
