If you see a runner, ask if you can help. Temp is dropping and a lot of out-of-towners have nowhere to go.

When I first saw this Tweet about 15 minutes after it was first published by Billy Baker, reporter for the Boston Globe, it had been retweeted 371 times. No wonder.

One quote I remember hearing during the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shootings was in answer to “Where do you find good in such things?” The answer: “Look toward the people running in to help.”

We all want to help today… again. I’d be happy to open my doors to a stunned and lonely runner. I want to keep my eyes on the helpers.
