Lately it seems like I've been learning a lot of life lessons and that while we are surrounded by tragedy we must remember that we are part of a strong community and the good that still exists and will prevail! A few quotes that have gone viral since the Boston Marathon events have really hit a chord with me:

| The good out number the bad and they always will! |
My husband and I just found out that our baby is a BOY!!! It's easy to get scared about bringing a new life into all of this but if we create strong communities and ensure that good will always prevail we must stay positive about the future. I am so proud to be a part of the running and triathlon community!
Tonight one of our local running shops is hosting a 2.62 mi. run and for each loop you can run they will donate $5 up to $1,000. I have a feeling most of the runners will match their donations. Everyday take the time to find small ways to make a difference. While tragedy strikes we are brought together and reminded of our strength and good will of others. But I challenge you to remember this even after this has passed.
