This week the running community’s heart was heavy, after hearing about the death of Meg Menzies. She was a 34 year old mom training for the Boston marathon. On Monday morning while running a 13 miler she was struck and killed by a drunk driver.

Although, I didn’t personally know Meg, I ran a quick loop effortlessly in honor if her. Many other runners did the same thing, wearing blue her favorite color.

It is a really amazing thing how fast news spreads on social media. I heard her story and was saddened but touched. By using #megsmiles the running community ones again stayed connected and was able to share their support.

Did you run for Meg?
