The day after the Boston Marathon, Ridgewood resident Gail Kislevitz ran.
She will be running again in the London Marathon this Sunday. At Friday’s race expo in London, she will proudly wear a jersey from the Boston Marathon.
Last Monday’s bombings, she said this week, made her feel “violated” as a runner.
“People spend their entire running careers trying to qualify [for Boston],” she said. “It just makes me want to get out there and run farther and run stronger.”
After the bombings, the instinctive reaction of many Ridgewood residents was to express prayers for the innocent victims and their families and assert a commitment to keep living as they did before.
