The year 2013 brought in 10 murders in the city of Boston by March, however, three murders in April shocked the world. Two terrorists planted bombs at the Boston Marathon this past week, and created a more cautious, proud, ignorant, and caring Boston. Boston stood strong and captured the two men. I want to focus this article on the race, but sadly I did not get to see much of it.

Part of the Dynasty Crew and I stood next to Lord & Taylor-next to the finish line- and then got a bite to eat at The Salty Pig. After eating, we went to Starbucks and waited for a friend before hearing the bombs go off and then seeing police scurry to the commotion.

I am half Kenyan and half Nigerian and ran cross country at Belmont Hill School and UMass Boston, so I appreciate the Marathon. I wanted to run in the Marathon, but I fear running in the Marathon now, because of the terrorist threat. Although I quit running, I still use energy by training in Kenka Karate and basketball and I will always support runners

It is still good to hear how the Marathon went. You can expect me to use media to watch the Marathon for now on.

Here is the summary of the women’s race (Rita Jeptoo of Kenya won the race)
