Patch editor gives a first-hand report from the Boston Marathon.
Monday, April 15 was my first time running the Boston Marathon. It was supposed to be a fun day focused on overcoming a strenuous 26.2-mile race, but once I reached the end, I was greeted with panic, caution and tears rather than high fives and celebrations. Monday was a perfect day for a runner and spectator, it was sunny and warm with a cool breeze. It would be hard to find an excuse why anyone with the day off from work wouldn’t be in town to either watch the race, the Sox game or to grab a bite at a restaurant. I was running this marathon as a bandit. I had no official number and was nervous security or someone from the Boston Athletic Association would kick me out. Once I reached the start line, it was smooth sailing. I was full of …

The nation's leading gun rights organization is sponsoring a NASCAR race this weekend. Some people have a problem with that. Do you?
This weekend's race in NASCAR's top series has a topical name. The NRA 500 will take place Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. The Sprint Cup Series race will air on Fox Sports. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, who represents Connecticut, location of the recent deadly elementary school shooting, sent a letter last month to NASCAR CEO Brian France asking him to change the name of the race. The request was not successful. This week, Murphy sent a letter to Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corp. (owner of Fox Sports) urging him not to air the race. As of Friday morning, Murdoch had not responded, at least not publicly. Murphy wrote: The race not only brings national attention to an organization that has been the face of one side of this…
