The more we learn about Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev's heinous terrorist plot, the sadder we become!!

Law enforcement officials say Dzhokhar, the brother who survived the run-in with the cops and was eventually captured, told FBI interrogators that their original plan was a deadly Fourth of July attack!!

Ugh!!! It sounds like they hoped to ruin the most prideful of American holidays!!

So what changed? Why did they allegedly bomb the Boston Marathon on April 15 instead?

Apparently the brothers finished building the bombs in Tamerlan's Cambridge apartment much quicker than they ever anticipated — so they were forced to push their timetable up to Patriots' Day!

Before utilizing his right to remain silent, Dzhokhar also told authorities that the deadly duo considered a suicide bombing, too!

Adrianne Haslet isn't afraid of ANYTHING!

Having her left foot and part of her leg lost in the Boston Bombing was awful, yeah, but why would something like that hold her back??

At 32, Adrianne is a wonderful dancer — notice how we said "is" instead of "was" — and she plans on proving how little of a setback those two terrorist cowards made for her. She didn't lose her life and that's what matters, so she'll be going on Dancing With The Stars to prove how unafraid she really is!

Adrianne Haslet-Davis is a 32 year old dancer who lost everything five inches below her knee on her left leg because two poor excuses for humans decided to bomb the Boston Marathon last week.

Whatever the reason for the bombing, it obviously didn't work. We might have lost three lives and some lives have changed forever, but they did not break the city, the nation, or their victims. They under-estimated how strong good people can be!

Take Adrianne for instance. She lost her foot and part of her leg, but guess what?

While many runners didn't get to finish the Boston Marathon yesterday due to the heinous explosions that were planted, students from Boston College have put together the Boston Marathon: The Last 5 for everyone who wants to complete the race that was stopped by bombs.

The Last 5 marathon is scheduled for this Friday at 4:30 PM and is inviting anyone who was affected by the bombing to take part in the five-mile walk from Boston College to Copley Square.

We certainly hope she's correct.

Now that we know that the bombs used in the Boston Marathon tragedy may have been pressure cookers hidden in backpacks, the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano is stating that the explosions that ended up killing 3 people and injuring 176 were not part of a broader plot.

It's a good thing Prince Harry is just presenting at the 2013 London Marathon instead of competing — he looks EXHAUSTED!

You know, because he's been running through our minds allllllll niiiiiiight! LOLz!

We're excited about this! The marathon could use a little ginger, as ginger is delicious and Prince Harry is one of our favorite flavors! He's an official patron of the London Marathon Charitable Trust, so he'll be lending a royal hand to this year's much-anticipated Virgin London Marathon!

He accepted a three-year commitment to the cause, so he'll also be presenting awards to the winners of each race: wheelchair/IPC athletics, mini marathon, and elite men and women!

Sounds like reason enough to enter! Ha!

Have fun, Prince Harry! And good luck to everyone competing!!
