i can no longer watch the news/read articles about it. it honestly makes me cringe and i was so distracted at work i broke down crying. it was a holiday in massachusetts, patriot's day, so none of my friends had class and they headed into the city for the marathon. i also have a ton of friends who work/live/go to school in boston. one of the colleges was under investigation for a bomb threat as well this afternoon.
so many stories are circulating, so i am not jumping to any conclusions but i am going to guess and say it was a domestic attack with homemade bombs. just a guess. so grateful that all of my friends are okay. makes me sick that today was supposed to be some of the runners' greatest days of their lives and they cannot even celebrate their accomplishments.
