Fortunately I got a text message through to her and she got back to me - she was safe. She had passed through that area a bit earlier and had run the fastest she had ever run. Thank God. Cue much relief here.
But it made me think - somewhere out there someone would be trying to get hold of someone they love - and they wouldn't be able to.
My friend's text message ended by saying it had been a "terrible day". And it was.
My thoughts are going out to everyone who was involved and touched by events in Boston.

(We are officially seeding. I am going to try and get some photos so it should be back to heavy machinery shots soon.)
Take care.

Oh goodness. How terribly scary. You must have had that horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach until you heard from her. We were also trying to think if any friends were running in the Boston marathon (they weren't, we know a few going to the New York marathon later in the year).
Just such a horrible and sad thing to have happened. I always read the newspaper when I eat breakfast and the stories and images were really horrific this morning. Hopefully it was just a lone nutcase, and not another wave of terrorism. Hope your day improves. xx
Thanks Heidi - it was very scary. So relieved that she was fine. Truly horrible - this sort of thing is unfathomable really.
As my eight year old said, "Why Mum would someone do that"? Why indeed.
Phew, I can feel your relief yet as you say others are no doubt trying to come to grips with the horror. Awful. Rx
Why indeed is right Fiona.
Thanks Romy.
Frightening indeed, glad to know shes safe. :) Got my eye on your next posts.
