Marathons

Marathons A marathon is a fitting metaphor for a lot of hard things we do in our lives. A marathon runner trains by getting up every morning without fail and putting one foot in front of the other, day after day after day. That is what leads to success. Not good luck. Success is starting the race and crossing the finish line. It's not measured relative to anyone but the runner themselves. Investing is a marathon. Some days it's hard to keep going, but progress is only made by hanging in there, moving forward one step at a time and not giving up. Horrific acts can demoralize us all. They sap our strength and make us feel like there's no point in moving forward. But that is when we have the marathon runners to remind us. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and you'll make it to where you are going. Our hearts go out to those who were hurt yesterday. They will be a constant reminder that sometimes the going gets really tough. But success will come to us all as we endure. The senseless acts to demoralize only make us stronger as we collectively share in the outpouring of compassion and resolve that rushes in to combat the horror. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in Boston. Thank you for reminding us again that sometimes just to keep moving forward is a big accomplishment.

As a runner and a former participant in the Boston Marathon, I know that it is also the support of family and loved runs who get an athlete to the finish line. It greatly saddens me that those hurt in Boston where there to support and cheer and love. My thoughts are with all of the families.

The 78 year-old runner, who was knocked off his feet by the blast, when asked if he would run more marathons (I think he had done over 40 of them) said "Oh yes". Laurie is right, sometimes economic blasts knock our investments off their feet. But it is important not to give up and to get ready to run the next race.

I'm tearing up thinking about how special it is to learn that someone who is so close to the Boston Marathon is part of our community. Thank so so much for sharing your perspective with the rest of us. You make a wonderful point. The caring and compassion of friends and family is the fuel that keeps us all going through really difficult times. I imagine most of the runners yesterday share your feelings. I also imagine that any hurt to the friends and family who were there to support them is probably more painful to them than if they had been hurt themselves. Laurie Frederiksen
