Runners grieve for Boston victims By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Julie Alarcon dashed across the finish line of the Lake George Half Marathon, looking at the readout of 02:08:07 on the time clock for the 13-mile footrace which wound through the Lake George area Sunday, April 21 and ended at Fort William Henry. Alarcon, 60, of Windsor Vt. just recorded her personal-best time Ñ but the

race meant far more to her and others, she reflected as she paused and stretched her leg muscles. Ò I was channelling Boston,Ó she said, referring to how as she ran the course, she was focusing on honoring the Boston Marathon runners and family members injured in the bombing attack April 15 that killed three and left dozens critically wounded. The horrific act of terrorism had nearly ripped her life apart.
