   120 days until the 120th running of the #bostonmarathon Honored to partner with @limbsforlife giving limbs to those who cannot otherwise afford them. Announcing this partnership with my marathon team #adriannestrong !! Let's do this team!! A photo posted by Adrianne Haslet (@adriannehaslet) on Dec 20, 2015 at 10:05am PST 
   
   “I made the decision a little while ago,” Haslet-Davis told Boston.com. “I wanted to train and really see if I was ready this year both physically and mentally before announcing that I’ve been training.” 
   
   After the 2013 bombing, Haslet-Davis, a professional ballroom dancer, vowed to dance again. She accomplished that goal less than a year later, and showcased her skills at the marathon finish line on April 28, 2015. 
   
   Though she was never a runner, after the bombing, she also vowed to run the marathon. 
   
   “I could do a quickstep for hours, but I couldn’t run a block, but I have great trainers and I am getting more comfortable in my blade,” she said. 
   
   Half of me is so SO ready to run right now! #underconstruction A photo posted by Adrianne Haslet (@adriannehaslet) on Dec 31, 2015 at 12:34pm PST 
   
   Haslet-Davis said she is up to 10 miles with her training. She’s planning to run the April 18 race with her team. She said her race will be dedicated to anyone who has ever supported her or the other survivors. 
   
   “It’s just a giant thank you to everyone,” she said. 
   
   “I’m going to cry the whole time,” Haslet-Davis later added. “For me, [the finish line] has been defined by triumph, blood, sweat, tears, and tragedy—and with victory—and everyone who crosses it crosses for a different reason for themselves. And maybe it’s even a different reason from when they first cross the starting line.” ||||| A woman who lost part of her leg in the boston marathon bombing two years ago returned to the site yesterday-- but not to run. She returned to show that she could still... Dance. 
   
   The elegant steps of a professional ballroom dancer were the only thing moving along Boylston Street this morning. Adrianne Haslet-Davis fox-trotted across the marathon finish line and trampled on the memory of losing her left leg two years ago.. 
   
   
   
   Haslet-Davis was with her husband outside forum restaurant when the second of two explosions blasted marathon spectators. She returned today as part of an on-line campaign highlighting her inspiring comeback. 
   
   Among the on-lookers in awe of her performance: Brian Walker, who was at the finish line when the first bomb went off and rendered aid to the injured. 
   
   
   
   Adrianne's recovery continues, as does her husband's. Better on the outside, she says, than on the inside but getting better everyday. Some of her biggest steps taken just Tuesday morning, for her and for her city.
