Today is Monday, April 15. I have just submitted the May issue of Colorado Runner to our printer and settled back to watch the coverage of the Boston Marathon. The elite American women are led by U.S. Olympian Shalane Flanagan, with her training partner Kara Goucher in sixth. I’m happy for Jason Hartmann of Boulder when he finishes a strong fourth. And I’m excited for Boulder runners Lee Troop and Fernanda Cabada when they cross the finish line in 15th and 16th. I turn the coverage off after the elites finish and decide to answer some emails. An email comes in reporting an explosion at the race. I’m stunned. I turn the tv back on and think, “Where’s the finish line? Where are the runners? What is going on?”
