THE MORNING BREW Boston embodies 'runner's spirit' in bombing aftermath
No matter your age, race, sex, sexual orientation, income status, height, weight, political ideology, denomination, there is one thing we can all share. There is one thing we often do share: finishing a race can be one of the most exhilarating, successful feelings we can experience as humans.
Before the gun goes off and we all toe the starting line, the course presents an obstacle for us all, and when we all finish, we feel unified, no matter our minor differences. In the end, we all conquered the same feat.
There are a lot of things I don't know, but this is one of the few things I do know: the post-race celebration at 5ks, 10ks, half and full marathons is nothing short of euphoric.
See, it's not about how long it took you to finish. It's not about "beating" those around you. It never really is. It's about finishing the race. It's about challenging yourself to set a personal best. It's about getting through pain. Temporary pain. It's about overcoming that little voice in your head that tells you to quit.
As runners who had trained their
whole lives to finish the Boston Marathon approached that 26.2-mile marker — the finish, the zenith, the culmination of those years of training— they experienced unfiltered, unrestrained joy. They swelled with pride in themselves and the runners around them. They were frazzled and dizzy, but nothing could come between them and the finish line. They shared that common goal, and they were going to pull each other toward it.
--people you'll meet. The few minutes they allot to "me-time" is spent running up and down hills for miles on end until they reach the point of complete, utter exhaustion. The time they have to relax, they instead spend (as non-runners see it) torturing themselves. In no way do I intend to be sacrilegious, but does that not sound "Christ-like?"
At 2:15 p.m. on April 15, I received a text message from ESPN telling me there were two bombings at the Boston Marathon. Those runners, so close to the tape, did not finish the race of their dreams.
I was in class at the time, but instantly, I felt nauseous. That nausea turned to anger. That anger spawned remorse.
I would say that runners are some of the nicest, most innocent people in the world. And there is science to back me up. When you reach that natural runner's high from the release of endorphins throughout your body, you won't hurt a fly.
Many runners had their life-long dreams crushed by a senseless act of terror. Three spectators were killed in the bombing, including an 8-year-old boy, and hundreds were injured. Many of those people were critically injured, losing the limbs that carried them just short of the finish.
The hard work these people put in on the trails in preparation for this event transcends the race. They work hard at their jobs as chemists, pilots, business people and school teachers. They are good family people who raise their children, our future leaders, and look after their parents and grandparents. They are members of the community who volunteer and help the less fortunate.
These are some of the most selfless
The Boston Marathon included, these races as a whole support physical health and fitness, and proceeds help support charitable organizations. Race days are like holidays, and they give people a sense of community.
Two lone wolves tried to bring Boston down. But Boston fought back with compassion for one another. Boston embodies that runner's spirit.
Let us not forget those who have fallen, and let us not quit running. Persevere. Boston Strong.
KANSAS RELAYS
Kansas Relays finish with women's 200 meter dash
The last non-relay event of the 2013 Kansas Relays saw a loaded field compete in the elite division of the Women's 200-meter dash. The eight-person event
Edited by Brian Sisk
showcased Olympic-caliber sprinter, but the winner of the race is actually accustomed to longer distances.
Ebony Floyd was able to get the win with a time of 23.68, just .02 ahead of second-place finisher Porscha Lucas. With the wind factoring into the final
"I was trying to get out extremely hard because they were all sprinters, so I was like don't let them leave me," Floyd said. "I felt it [the wind] for sure coming home. I was trying not to run all
crazy, it was a strong head wind."
stretch, Floyd had more than just a shorter distance to deal with.
Not letting any of the factors dampen her spirits, Floyd was able to best Olympic athletes for the Jayhawk trophy. When asked how she felt about running at the Kansas Relays, Floyd seemed to relish the moment.

"It was my first time here, and I want to come back next year. I like it," Floyd said. "It was a great field, so I am extremely happy with that win."
