With the running of the 129th Boston Marathon, over 30 thousand stories will be recorded into history, some huge and some so small. They will be cherished only by the people, family and friends of those who really care.

My history with the Boston Marathon dates to my freshman year at Boston University. I remember the newspaper and television reports leading up to the event. Out of pure curiosity, I got a firsthand look at the proceedings.
