Good luck with your run... and you Know I will always be waiting for your next mini post....:)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958245403501411921.post-48757832219922093092013-04-22T10:58:21.629+08:002013-04-22T10:58:21.629+08:00Bets, I was watching the news all day over the pas...Bets, I was watching the news all day over the past days and cheered with the Bostonians when the younger brother was apprehended. This bombing has clearly affected runners worldwide. And it is heartening to see how it only reinforced the unity and bond between not only runners but supporters, friends and families of runners. <br /><br />I am so touched by all your messages here. And Betsy, I hope you don't mind but visiting you is definitely on my list of to-dos. :):) You are too special for me not to ever meet face to face :). <br /><br />The London marathon has concluded without incident. So did the historical West Bank marathon. Next week, I am travelling to Sabah again to run my 2nd overseas half marathon. <br /><br />I have been training and somehow the bombing has affected me enough so I lost all inspiration to work on minis, or writing. That's why I haven't been on blog land so much. But slowly and surely, I will be back :). <br /><br />Wait for me! :)<br /><br />Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958245403501411921.post-7871204969581483402013-04-22T00:19:18.728+08:002013-04-22T00:19:18.728+08:00Dear Sans!

I don't run, (except after my children!) but I grew up in the suburbs of Boston, I live two hours away and I go there often (was there the Monday of the week before)... I think of Boston as "My Home Town" and I am so proud of it's history as a leader in the search for Human Independence and Freedom! The outrage and disbelief and despair I felt at the news of this Insane attack surprised me. I am one who tries to see the good side of life even in the face of difficulties. I am not one to gloat over death of anyone... but I am Proud of the way Boston "Circled the Wagons" (what the Pioneers did when under attack) and hunted down the terrorists! I am saddened that it only takes a single crazy person to wreak great harm on others... but I am determined that this will not stop my belief that the Vast Majority of people are Good, Kind, Loving, Creative Humans and worthy of living a free and happy life! Someone wise (I forget who) said "The only thing we have to Fear is Fear itself.." and I carry that with me often. Do not live in fear. Run anyway! Run because you love to run! Run because it connects you to other runners on the other side of the World even though you do not know them! We cannot let the acts of Terrorists change our lives... because if we do, if we begin to live in Fear... then they have won. We can't let that happen! So Run, Dear Sans! Run!!! And if you are ever here, I will stand at the side of the road... maybe even at the bottom of the street where I lived as a child, half way to Boston, and hand you water as you go past!!!<br />Love has to Win!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958245403501411921.post-52812207295741675062013-04-17T03:30:35.158+08:002013-04-17T03:30:35.158+08:00Don't stop, dear Sam.

Actually I think this will only make more people run and those who already do, will continue for the reason you've writen about.<br />Hugs and kissesThe Old Maidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702109878437377286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958245403501411921.post-49084934142982915132013-04-17T01:45:02.267+08:002013-04-17T01:45:02.267+08:00I'll never get used to terror attacks.

A cloud of sadness fell over Israel's celebrations of Independence Day, reminding us that evil knows no bounds. What can be gained with killing an innocent eight year old boy and civilians?<br />Dear Sans, please continue to run.<br />Hugs, Drora<br />Drora's minimundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121137317566476061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958245403501411921.post-49149035753638061222013-04-17T00:39:35.711+08:002013-04-17T00:39:35.711+08:00Beautiful post Sans.

This morning I was overwhelmed with sadness and grief- not only from this story but so many others we see every single day of the cruelty we can show to each other. Then a friends post on facebook reminded me that along with the sad I feel determination. We cannot let the evil win out and we must live our lives spreading the love and kindness as fast as the others spread the evil. Any and every act of love and kindness each of us does counts. Your post today reminds me of the good in people, the community and love we can and do show each other. Sending you a hug today and hope you get a chance to run this week ♥Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375926316456970496noreply@blogger.com
