Happy Patriots Day – NO Marathon Monday
It’s all very surreal. There were no runners boarding busses to Hopkinton early this morning. There were no runners to take a right on Hereford, left on Boylston. There is no Red Sox game being played this afternoon. There is no marathon being run on this Marathon Monday. This is the first time the Boston Marathon has been cancelled in its 123 year history. The 2020 Boston Marathon is now scheduled for September 14th when we all hope to be living our best lives in a post-corona virus new world.
Marathon Monday is a day about triumphs and tragedies. We will never forget what happened in 2013. It was a beautiful sunny Marathon Monday, the Red Sox won, and the annual running of the Boston Marathon turned upside down in an explosive instant. We were all shook to our very core and our world forever changed. We could not believe what we saw and heard that day but we all came together and showed the terrorists that we are Boston Strong, we will overcome and we will never forget.
Once again, our world has changed and has been turned upside down. We are now fighting a very different fight but we need to come together now more than ever so we can win this battle and come back even stronger.
I look forward to seeing you all sometime soon and I look forward to seeing all the marathon runners in September when they will be able to run Boston again.
Stay strong, stay healthy and stay safe.
