  6. Just woke up to the horrible news of the Boston Marathon bombings. Did anyone from DM compete? Is everyone ok? Thoughts and prayers are with everyone xxxxxxxxx

    • Alicyn H.

      So sad. Heard from a bunch of DM'ers on Facebook and they're ok. I don't know of anyone from DM that was hurt.

      I only saw a single runner go down. The casualties are all spectators, family members and support personnel. Such an incredibly sad day.

      It's def hard. Sorry again for your loss. My sis's chow died in my arms while everyone was out. It was an incredibly traumatic experience trying to get him into the car and then driving around frantically looking for their vet.

      That must have been so tough for you @Runs. Especially because t wasnt your pet and you must must have felt such responsibility to try to get the care it needed.

      She couldn't find a better swim coach even if she hired one. You're not too shabby in the bike & run dept either. Ha! Talk about an understatement. She's very lucky to have ya!
