Boston Marathon tribute song video

A Boston-area musician has created a song video in tribute to Boston Marathon runners.

Read the article, watch the video. It made my eyes tear up a bit, especially since I've run the Boston Marathon and recognized some of the iconic landmarks (the Citgo sign!) and race-branded clothing (I have the teal and yellow jacket from 2010!).

Oh, that's a lovely video. Thanks for the link!

I lived on the Boston Marathon route, in Natick, for a few years, but that was long before I had any interest in running. I also wasn't from that area, which added to my lack of understanding of why it was such a big deal for a lot of people. It just seemed like a good opportunity to have a party with the neighbors in the building since we weren't able to go anywhere that morning!
