0417boston1 — A group of Gainesville runners prays Tuesday evening for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing before they set out on a 5K in their honor.

Wendy Clements wasn’t with her friend Theresa Panter this time around. The two ran the Boston Marathon together in 2007; well, Panter finished well ahead of her, but they started together, Clements joked. The two have run numerous marathons together, and Clements said she has known Panter “umpteen” years.
