Yesterday’s Boston Marathon began at 9am. At roughly 2:50pm, the first of two explosions occurred. And in between, 17,584 runners finished the race.
Usually, completing a marathon leaves a runner feeling exhilarated. But in this case, the feelings are much more complicated.

Elle Foley, was running her 16th Boston Marathon yesterday.
And Jim Congdon has run over ten Boston Marathons.
