Opening Day at Fenway is always one of my favorite days of the year. This year didn't disappoint. Between the Boston Marathon bombing survivors and families delivering the World Series rings; the '04, '07, and '13 banners being dropped over the Green Monster; and the Boston Fire Department coming on to lower the flag to half mast, this was definitely a special day for Boston.

These shoes left at a memorial on Boylston St. speak volumes. Run for those who lost their lives and those who were injured. Run for our first responders - both uniformed and civilian - whose quick, selfless actions saved lives. Run for the local, state, and federal law enforcement and government officials who worked around the clock that week. Run for the doctors and nurses who proved - both that day and in the months after - why Boston's hospitals are some of the best in the world. Run for Boston.
