Life Lessons...

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 you and we always will
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.
