Resilience

If life over the past 8 months has taught me anything it is that human beings are resilient. If being a life long Red Sox fan has taught me anything it is that the passionate people of Boston have resilience in their DNA. I am still pissed off about the horrible acts of terrorism yesterday at the marathon. I am buoyed by the images of the first responders running toward the explosions, the amazing stories of acts of kindness/heroism, and  that all my teammates and their families were physically left unscathed. I know the 117 year old tradition of the world's greatest marathon will continue and I know that the event will continue to be the centerpiece of every New Englander's Patriots day. We are a people who love and protect our traditions. We still have Quaker Blue Laws on the book. The best way to continue to stick it to a-hole(s) who planted the bombs is to continue to live our lives and run our miles. I stand with you Boston, forever and always.
