My brother and I watched the marathon from his apartment and quickly became invested in the elite runners and their stories: from Van Dyk's amazing 10th victory, McFadden's triumph over adversity, Meb's amazing men's win at 39, to the heartache of seeing Shalene fall behind after setting that amazing pace.
While I was surrounded by fluffy cats, I was immersed in both the feat of the marathon and in it's significance. Boston is not a city to back down; more runners ran than almost ever and over a million watched in person. Boston won't ever back down and that's what makes it so amazing.
Boston Strong.
