Looking Good

When people ask me why I run, I tell them, there's not really a reason, it's just the adrenalin when you start, and the feeling when you cross that finish line, and know that you are a winner no matter what place you got.-Courtney Parsons

Hey all, just a note to say that the sponsorship to put on the Chloe K. 5k RUN RIDE ROCK is going great.  We are already above last years pre-race amount and we have other moneys promised that should arrive at any moment.  This is very encouraging.  Thanks to all who have donated thus far.  Remember to get the word out.  

I am running the Indy Mini on Saturday with my good friend Kerry.  Should be a lot of fun, for me at least.  I am to be Kerry's task master as this will be his first half-marathon.  I think it will be a blast.  I have never run a race with someone before.  I am going to have to come up with some irritating stories and jokes in order to maintain a certain level of annoyance for the 13.1 miles.  I can't wait.  I hope the rain is over by then.  The temps look good.  Except for the other 34,998 runners celebrating the 32nd  running of the Indianapolis One America Festival and the 60,000 spectators, it should be a blast.
See you on the road...
