T-shirt of the Day #6
Boston Strong
On April 15, 2013 I was enjoying one of my favorite days in Boston – Marathon Monday. After watching the Red Sox win I spilled out into Kenmore Square to cheer on the runners.
I was a few hundred feet up the race course from Kenmore. I saw the police officers moving towards Kenmore Square and assumed that there was some sort of fight happening – but there wasn’t. It was much worse than that.
I don’t run – I cheer. I have cheered for many marathons since my first in 2005 (thanks Shavonne!) and love the feeling of standing at the 1 mile-to-go mark and cheer those runners through to the end. In 2014 I rode my bike along the entire race course with my friend Karen. It was incredible to be able to experience the course through my own power and also heartbreaking to make that left onto Boylston and think about all of those who were not able to finish the race the year before.
We will always be Boston Strong – in the way we came together to help people who were injured and stranded that day. And in the ways we continue to come together each year to remember and put rubber to the pavement.
