In case you haven't heard, the marathon this Sunday is still on. I know a lot of runners were conflicted about it. It seems silly to be running around and cheering when so many people are without power, or even worse, without their homes. I understand the reasons behind it. The marathon brings in a lot of money to small local businesses, businesses that were already affected by the storm. Plus a lot of people have devoted a lot of time and emotion into training for this marathon, and if it were cancelled, they would probably be devastated. Well some people are turning this into a chance to do something good. They're running to show that the tri-state area is strong and resilient and life will eventually pick up and move on. If anyone wants to show support to NYC and storm victims, you can donate here:

I promise once things are back to normal my posts will be too.
