I don't know about all of you, but I feel so mad and sad about the events that occurred yesterday. I was glued to the Internet and this forum making sure everyone was OK. I have an idea, I see the run for jenny bracelets how about we order bracelets that says "run for boston" and wear them everyone time we go for a run and post them on every social media sit we can. Let the people know that we are running for them, the city and to show that we will not hide in a corner!

Chasing the sub 20 5K.

I like it. They could be blue, or blue and yellow.

I'd wear one. I still wear my Jenny bracelet every day. Might as well add to it. Smile

Min order is 50. So it comes out to 60 bucks they are blue with yellow ink injected lettering. Run for boston on one side and 4/15/2013 on the other.

I'd be in on a bracelet. And if the race photos ever get published, I think Jenny would be proud Wink

They'll tell you that failure is not an option. That's ridiculous. Failure is always an option. It is the easiest and most readily available option. It's your choice though.

Thanks for letting us know. I saw some posts from you this morning in FB, but didn't see anything from you yesterday (my news feed was exploding, though). Glad to hear you and your friends are fine.

I am fine. I know one person who was mildly injured and sent to the hospital but they are fine.

All of the runners I know are fine.

One of my Girls on the Run girls was at the finish and had to run from there with her Mom.

I ran the 5K Sunday and will sign up for the 10K as well. I have another half already scheduled for the same weekend as the BAA half.

I am still reeling.

I saw the post on the Jenny group. Hoping to receive one so I can show my support.
