Video: Boston marathon bombing survivor crosses finish line on prosthetic leg – Telegraph

Survivors and spectators of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing in the US have reflected on the importance of being back at the race and moving on, two years after the deadly attacks.

The weather was cold and damp but the atmosphere festive at Monday’s running of the marathon, two years after pressure-cooker bombs exploded at the finish line and shattered one of sports’ most cherished events.

One survivor had an emotional finish to the race after she was injured in the 2013 blast while watching from the sidelines.

Rebekah Gregory DiMartino, alongside her trainer who is also an amputee, ran the last few miles of the race and crossed the finish line, visibly moved by her achievement.

Donna Scott, mother of a different race participant said: “people will never really heal from what happened two years ago.”

RPHM Training – Week 9, Day 1

Goal: Tempo Run – 10 min warm up, 10 min tempo (6:34 pace), 10 min cool down — target dist: 4.06

Achieved: 3.2k in 23:57

A pretty wet day, and the time I decided to go out running, I ended up running through clouds of flies and midges. Very off-putting, so I changed direction, and ran through the back roads, ending back at my house with 6 mins to spare on my cool down phase. I was above my target pace on my tempo phase, but below my target phase during my warm-up/cool-down phases.

I started a new job this week, and the hours have thrown my schedule out of whack somewhat. The new office has a gym so I did some treadmill running on Friday, but I can’t figure out how to track that on Endomondo without having to type it in manually.
