It is the 118th Boston marathon. The first run is at 8:30 Monday morning. Last year 260 people were wounded and 5,000 not able to finish the race. This year there is about 3,500 police officers and very good security. 36,00 people start off the race including people from last years race in their prosthetics and wheel chairs.
If you were injured last year, would you come back and run this year? Would you go cheer on all the runners or be too scared to go there?

Good story but don't ask yes/no questions.
I would come back and run if i was in it last year and did not get to finish.
If I was one of the people injured last year I would be cautious and nervous about coming back but I would do it. I would also cheer on anyone who was nervous about running this race.
I agree I would be very scared to go back and run. All the security would make me feel better.
With that many security guards, I don't think I would mind going. However, there are millions of different races out there to run in. I would probably do a different race.
I'm not sure if I would go back or not. I'd be scared of what could happen, but I'd also want to go back to prove that the bombers didn't win. I would support all the other runners if I were attending.
If I was injured there last year I probably wouldn't go back. I would be to scared to go there again.
I would go watch and support the people who are so strong for coming back to do it again.
If I was in last year's race I would defiantly go again this year to show support to the families and the city.
Its really cool that so many people are going back to support hose who can't run in it because of last years accident.
