Apologies for the blog silence over the past couple of weeks. I was getting over a pretty terrible change of weather cold, working my butt off, and still trying to get runs in to stay on target. I know, I know. Those excuses pale in (Palin?) comparison to what Barack has gone through in his two years campaigning - let alone his final two weeks. Weak sauce. I admit it.
But let me be clear: Obama Baton is on. It will be at the start line. It will be passed to the first person, who asks for it or whom I identify as a supporter. I will count on that person to pass it on and pass on the story. A bit of faith required in people, but that’s just how I want it.
Trying to over-plan this thing was starting to take the fun out. Trying to coordinate meeting and running with one friend in this 39,000 person event was tough enough. I want this thing to work, for sure, but I also want it to be organic and able to change based on anyone who wants to take it rather than having 26 runners set (1 for each mile was the first plan).
Definitely still feel free to get in touch. I’ll be in Wave 1, Green Area. My bib # is 17294. See you there!
