Honor Run

Six years ago today Mrs. Agricola and I ran down the Brooklyn Promenade not 20 minutes prior to AA11 hitting the North Tower. The horror that was to come that day was already underway as we trotted through the streets of Brooklyn. By the time Mrs. A hit the showers reports were coming over the radio that a plane had hit the North Tower.

I've run each year since September 11, 2001 (with the exception of one year when I was sick). I do it to honor and remember the dead of that day and to let the powers that be know that we're still here, that life continues and that we don't forget.

I ran 4.02 miles today in 31:59. Mainly I ran to pay respects and mark the day. I hope to run on September 11 as long as I can.
