So the title may seem like I am missing something but really its ok. What I mean is the Boston Marathon will be run tomorrow morning and the weather has no say in the matter. This topic comes up after seeing the volcanic eruption in Iceland:

The reason I bring this up is because of the some hundreds of runners that have been effected by mother nature’s disruption of the flight patterns. If you have not heard, ash is not a good thing for a planes engine. It causes the engine to stop because the ash gets into the wiring once it is liquified and ends up shutting down the engine.

The people who are not able to travel don’t care so much about missing the marathon date its all the hard work that has gone into running that one day. You can not get up and run a marathon folks, you have to train your body to sustain the different types of weather plus withstand the distance you have to run in order to finish. I know from personal experience, it is such a drain to know that you have trained for so long and will not be able to run in a race. A lot of work is put into getting yourself in shape for this event and then its over before you know it. It is like anything you might do for an extended period of time. You put your blood, sweat and tears into it only to see the bottom drop out of it.

I hope most of the runners can make it overseas but it is unfortunate to hear that so many runners will not be able to make the trip for the Boston Marathon due to circumstances out of their control. It simply was not meant to be, what else can you say. These things don’t just happen for nothing, they happen for a reason.
