Last night, a group of us got together to meditate and run on Boston Common. I taught a brief meditation, while Dan Fitzgerald, co-owner of Heartbreak Hill Running Company and South End Athletic Company and running coach for the American Red Cross marathon team, led the run– 3 laps around the Common to honor the lives lost on Monday. I thought you might enjoy a few photos.

After walking to the Common (to spare weary legs), we gathered in a circle and joined hands for a lovingkindness meditation, known as metta. After giving and receiving metta, I asked marathoners to step into the center of the circle.
