10 reasons why I am running the Boston Marathon

       1. Because I have two legs.

       2. Because I am alive.

       3. Because I don’t take #1 or #2 or so many other lesser things for granted.

       4. Because it’s for the GREATEST possible cause.

       5. Because Boston is my home.

       6. Because I’ve been a spectator for long enough.

       7. Because if not now, when?

       8. Because I’d like to experience a marathon as more than just a metaphor.
     9. Because I don’t want my sons’ most poignant marathon memory to involve a lock-down.

       10.  Because I need the exercise.
