Ready for this week to be OVER!!!

Oh goodness what can I say that all others haven't all ready said. All the feelings, all the raw emotions. It's overwhelming and humbling at the same time. So we will start with Sunday. I am running my 10 miler, truckin along when I get a phone call that my grandmother on my mothers side has passed away. I wasn't really that close to her but still, a sad emotion it is. Her grave side service is tomorrow in Waco Texas where I will not be considering I'm in SC. But I will be there in spirit an praying for all my family involved. Monday: so excited for the Boston marathon. Got to watch the female winner, which was amazing. I am amazed at the hard work, endurance and training that marathoners have to endure. Trust me it's been on the tip of my brain, but I am not totally there yet. Listening and reading the rest I was DEVESTATED, HEARTBROKEN and SHOCKED as I watched stories unfold, pictures unveil and saddened by people who waited so long, trained so hard for this marathon, only to have this as their memory. To some they qualified and ran their first Boston, which is HUGE, all memories based on the tragic events. I have prayed, I have ran and will continue to run to show my support. The running community is amazing and we get back up. We are all united. Sad and tragic as it is, the other suspect is caught and well personally I think he should be put in town square and let the community beat his ass, but that's just my opinion. Most of you don't know is that I was born and raised in Waco Texas. I got married there, had my kids at Hillcrest hospital. My grandparents lived there forever and I still have a lot of family and friends in Waco area. West is about 20 miles from Waco. My daddy Vic said he felt the blast only to think it was thunder. I am so proud of my Texans who have come together in wake of another tragedy. It's so heartbreaking to hear that that little town I use to ride the streets on is hurting. Again I run, again I pray. I pray that our loving God wraps his children in his protective arms and shelters them as they are grieving. This is for all tragedies this week. I pray that this world we live in will keep standing strong for our people. They need our love and support. Pray for America, remember there is still good out there, just open your eyes to see the beauty, not the evil.
