448 Marylanders Registered For Boston Marathon

Listings for the Boston Athletic Association show 448 Marylanders registered to run the 2013 Boston Marathon , which was marred by tragedy Monday afternoon.

According to those records, 47 individuals from Maryland never finished the race, although it's likely many of them were pulled from the course following two explosions around 3pm.

An additional 75 runners did not start the course according to the listing. Among those who deferred or opted out is Ashley Recker, an assistant field hockey coach with Johns Hopkins University. The university confirms she did not participate.

I don't understand why people run in marathons to begin with. The human body wasn't made to run long distances which puts stress on joints and other body parts. I used to work in a medical related field and the surgeons used to make fun of runners and say they were stupid but didn't want to say that too loud because they made tons on money off of them doing joint replacement surgeries.
