After the tragic events that took place at the 2013 Boston Marathon, everyone knew 2014 would be one of (if not the biggest) Boston Marathon’s in history. With a total of 32,408 runners who started all but 264 finished the race, an amazing number when you stop and think about that amount of people. Of course it was an emotional day for those who were there in 2013, at 2:49 there was a moment of silence to remember the 3 lives that were lost and the hundreds that were injured at last years marathon. Meb Keflezghi became the first American to win the Men’s Boston Marathon in 31 years, a fitting way to commemorate an emotional but triumphant day for Boston as the entire city showed what it meant to be Boston Strong.
