Some thoughts. .

Before I begin my blog let me just say...

I know I haven't been running for a long time but I feel like I belong with the running community and the whole Boston Marathon bombings still did resonate with me.. My dad ran the New York City Marathon twice , I was on the sidelines cheering for both of them and I can't  even imagine how someone can steal such a great moment of finishing a marathon and turning it into a horrific scene. My heart goes out to all the people who got injured or lost their lives.. My heart goes out to the people who also were there and experienced things that no one should ever experience..

These events also have made me realize that maybe I shouldn't major in Occupational therapy and maybe I should just stick with Criminal Justice.  I ALWAYS have been interested in what happens after something like this.. 

how do you process evidence..what it says about it.. the court process.. 

A few days after the explosions I started listening to the police scanner from Boston and I was listening when they got word of a stolen car and shots fired.. Little did I know but I would not get any sleep that night and be following the scanner the WHOLE night as it unfolded in to the chase for the bombing suspects.  It was so scary/exhilarating   to be a small part of the action and actually hear what was going on.  When I was first listening to it I thought it was just a run of the mill incident but once I heard the word "grenades" I had a sneaking suspicion that they found their guys.  Thank you reddit.com for providing me with a link to the scanner 

Reflecting on all the events of the past week have inspired me to become a better runner and run for the people who can't run.   I will get better at it, and maybe even one day run a 5k or a half marathon.. (doubt the half but sure ..) 

Jons friend is going to stay with us on Friday night so I thought I would make some Chocolate chip cookies to have around.  yum 

I found a REALLY delicious looking Cheesecake.   I want to make it but the only problem is the measurements are in grams because its from BBC food.   I will find out the new measurements and I will make this bitchin' cheesecake.. Its a Baileys Cheesecake ( umm yes plz) 

Looks good right? 

I had a blog post all figured out in my head but I forgot most of what I wanted to talk about.  How is your day going everyone? 

My week is off to a slow start.. Jon has a cold and ofcourse he gave it to me so I am going to run all my errands tomorrow.  I just couldn't motivate myself enough to go to the store today.. I'm exhausted and It took me awhile to get up this morning.. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.
