Going the distance

If you missed it, participants in yesterday’s London Marathon paid tribute to the victims at the Boston Marathon—runners wore black ribbons and armbands, and there was a 30-second moment of silence before the race began.

This video of that is absolutely spellbinding. Seeing thousands and thousands of runners, moments before a huge race for which every one of them (including those dressed like pea pods) has been training and psyching for months, stand completely still and silent is honor indeed.
