Running

The second running boom is in full bloom. One week from today, the Boston Marathon will be run for the 118th time.

The British Open is 154
Kentuckey Derby is 139
Modern Olympics is 118
World Series is 110
World Cup is 84
The Masters is 81
The Super Bowl is 47
The Peachtree Road Race is 46
Wimbledon is 46

We all love these events BUT ONLY the Peachtree Road Race is open to the "citizen athlete." The others are reserved for the elite. The Boston Marathon can be reached by a citizen athlete willing to do the work. It aint easy but it is accessible. John Shannon is our marathoner who will be among them next Monday.

All eyes will be on the runners in Boston next Monday. We hope a few are inspired to join us for a run soon.
