Federico wondered if my relatives were OK. As I have three sisters who regularly run the Marathon it was a serious question. The twins did not go up from Pittsburgh this year, and Anita St John was at mile 20 when the bombs went off at the finish line.
However, my sister Wendy, a head nurse, is apparently working on the victims, and there are or at least were armed guards on the hospital doors.
One of my river guide friends ran the marathon this year, thankfully she finished before the explosions and is fine. But it just goes to show that gratuitous running is hazardous to your health, safer to stay home and drink beer!
ReplyDeleteDelighted to learn your family is safe.

Here, here...Peculiar ! Though I do think there will be more runners then usual next year. Seems Wendy (if she got to work today) would be locked down during the search for suspect 2. Saddened heart that it is foreigners that grew up here that are at the heart of this... Your sister Karen
