Boston Marathon Bombings — A Runner’s View [VIDEO]
All I have been able to watch is coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings. From video replays, to breaking news, to these unbearably sad interviews with family and friends of the lost and injured.

Earlier today, this photo was shared on Facebook as an 8-year-old girl who died from the tragic bombings in Boston.
After yesterday's tragedy in Boston, you start to think about things. Life things. How precious life is and how it can change in an instant.
I'm sad to forward this information along to you.
This is 78-year-old Bill Iffrig of Washington State, now about the most infamous of the more than 23,000 runners in yesterday's Boston Marathon. Somehow, though he was right next to the first explosion, about 15 feet from the finish line, he suffered only a scratched leg, and completed the race.
Three people were killed and more than 100 injured on Monday afternoon when two explosions went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Rescue organizations have gathered to help and at the the tragic scene, but how can you help?
The Huffington Post has put together a helpful list of ways:
Did you know that it has been six years since the mass shooting at Virginia Tech? On April 16, 2007, a senior at VT named Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others before taking his own life.
9 p.m. (EST): The final press conference of the day with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis and various other officials just concluded. The FBI is now leading investigations of the events. Davis confirmed that three people were killed in today's blasts.
CNN is reporting that one of the victims killed was an 8-year-old boy. The Wall Street Journal had reported that as many as five other unexploded devices were found around Boston, but investigators now doubt that they were actually bombs.
I discovered today what a historic day April 15 is.
Did you take care of your taxes yet?? Hopefully you did. Otherwise you will be one of the millions scrambling to get their taxes in by tonight's deadline.
A few days ago I saw the story of a courageous 7-year-old cancer patient named Jack Hoffman on the news. I asked quite a few friends if they saw this amazing young man score a touchdown in a recent Nebraska Cornhuskers game. Surprisingly, they said no, though they were curious about a 7 year old playing college football.
David Letterman pulled zero punches when forced to interview Lindsay Lohan for 'The Late Show' last night (April 9), making the starlet visibly uncomfortable at certain points.
Thing is, Letterman's so affable that it was hard for her to stay mad at him.
