Actually I wasn't there but my daughter was almost. She has qualified to run the 2014 event but this year she was going to jump in at the beginning of Heartbreak Hill to pace a fellow runner. I called her when I heard the news and she was sounding worried so I thought she was at the site. She had no idea what was going on downtown. Fortunately she was worried because she couldn't find her friend and was afraid she had dropped due to injury.
Everyone in her running club was okay and finished before the explosions. but she reminded me yesterday that it was on Patriot's Day 6 years ago when the VA Tech shootings occurred and she lost a former hs teammate.
