  • Me Time Yoga: Praying for my fellow Bostonians,any and all runners and spectators and their families. Thanking god my sister was still roughly 5-miles from finish when everything happened and that my family and I are in DC or we'd have been at the finish line to cheer her on as in yrs past. DC isn't my favorite place to be in heightened security alerts, nor airports....but will take it one day at a time and enjoy with my family. Difficult to have to be sheltered from news due to the kids in close quarters, but thankful for updates from friends and family. Thank you. We love you for keeping us informed.
