Explosions at Boston Marathon Finish Line

[Nivek]

Happy to hear you're okay, Jim.

Jim, I'm glad to know it was a miss. We all are. Sorry that you had to be part of that. Sorry for those who were a bigger part of that. An 8-year-old. Sad.

Get home safe.

clarification/correction on the whole timing thing.

The explosions went off at about 2:50PM. The race clock that you see
in the video at 4:09 was offset to reflect those that started in the 3rd wave
at 10:40 AM. I missed the explosions by about 40 minutes.

Glad you are okay, Jimmy. You must be pretty shaken right now.

[dobrojim]

I do feel shaken but I also almost feel guilty about it.
I have PTSD (I think) but I feel like a wuss compared to a real
soldier who got it from being in combat.

My therapy?
I just signed up for a 50K in WV 4 Saturdays from now (May 11)
and a fall marathon (Steamtown in Scranton PA) at which I hope to be able to re-qualify for Boston.
I've run 14 Boston which seems somehow like an incomplete number.

Glad you're ok.

Horrific incident, such a tragedy. Thoughts and prayers go out to Boston for sure.
