#BostonStrong - One Year Later

To put into words my feelings on the one year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings is nearly impossible.

What I know I will never be at a loss of words for, is my love for my home city, the Bean. There is simply no where like it. The history, the people, the attitude and yes, the accent hold a very special, and very solid place in my heart.



Needless to say, last years attack hit home, hard, wicked hard. And the anniversary today does also. It is one of those things that you know is coming, but even still, can hit you like a tractor trailer truck. Prayers, and more prayers for the victims and their families.

Although it is beyond me to pinpoint the right words for today, I was able to pin point my top 3 #BostonStrong quotes/instances. All of these occurred in the days following the Marathon Bombing and they speak to the heart, fire and tenacity of Boston.

• Adam's Sandler's tweet - "Boston is probably the only major city that if you fuck with them, they will shut down the whole city, stop everything and find you."

• Bostonian's Sing National Anthem at the Bruins Game 4/17

• Big Papi, saying what every single Bostonian on earth was thinking.

Another thing I can say is this: anytime you are feeling "lazy" and whining "I don't want to go to the gym" or "I really don't want to run right now." Shut up. Be grateful to even have the option of working out, running or even walking. Let that gratitude compel you to take NOTHING for granted, especially you're health and body. Do an extra set of push ups, run an extra mile or lift a little more for the people who can't. 

When something kick's you down, get up and kick it's ass. That is Too Fit & #BostonStrong

So much love to Boston.
