Yes, it is a sad day today in New York, as the organizers of the New York marathon, and mayor Blomberg have confirmed that this will be a year without a marathon. Most agree that rather than spend funds, food and water on a huge event like that, the money should be rationed to help victims of Hurricane Sandy  , which much like Hurricane Isaac, did only property damage, and cut out power to certain parts of New England for extended periods of time.But indeed, people that have been training like crazy this year will be bitterly disappointed. Men from all over the word lamented in rage today upon this decision, it is a sad day in running history. Awwwww
