Keflezighi triumph embodies the true strength of Boston

My love for the marathon has grown in the past couple of weeks.

Despite the fact I’m a sprinter who trains to run for about 12 seconds, there’s so much about the marathon I admire. Don’t worry, it is not enough to start running the massive mileage, just enough to be a big fan.

This year, the 118th Boston Marathon was a day marked by resilience and determination. The race took place 371 days after the bombing at the 2013 event. The atrocity left three people dead: Krystle Campbell, Lu Lingzi and Martin Richard. Many others suffered horrendous and life-altering injuries.
