Over 12 hundred fellow runners ran the second annual
Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon and Kick the Couch 5K. It
was an event that demonstrated the fraternity and fidelity of
athletes all over the world, of widely different physical condition
and abilities. When we accepted the challenge to run in this event,
we accepted the role of becoming a runner. We ran in official
events, back country roads, in parks with friends, on military
bases, quiet places, and organized races. We ran together though
apart, thinking globally yet participating locally, setting an
example for those around us who might not understand the
significance in running a World Wide event, but will always be
invited to join us…on the road. ***WARNING*** this episode ends with an
angry, (almost psychotic) rant about accusations made of runners at
this years Chicago Marathon.
