Boston Marathon 2014

The 2014 Boston Marathon proved that a city, state, and nation can come together after a tragedy stronger than ever. An amazing spring day greeted runners and viewers along the entire course. American Meb Keflezighi won the Men's division for the first time since 1983 and Dick and Rick (Team) Hoyt completed their 32nd and final marathon in a fitting conclusion to great event and year of recovery.

Today was the 117th running of the Boston Marathon on Patriots' Day - one of the best days of the year in Massachusetts. Unfortunately, there were some terrible terrorist attacks at the finish line which cast a shadow on the day, killing at least 2 and injuring dozens.

Sharing some of my images from the day to prove that there is some happiness out there and to hopefully raise some spirits.
