I just returned from the Race for Justice, a charity event to raise money for the Loan Repayment Assistance Program.  LRAP provides subsidies to public interest attorneys with outstanding loans.  I finished the 5K route in approximately 53 minutes without even breaking a sweat.  I'm pretty sure I could have easily done another five or even ten kilometers before I would start cramping up.  The key is to stretch properly and load up on carbs the night before.  You would not believe what a pain in the ass it is to push spaghetti noodles down my g-tube.

 

And a big shoutout to my friend Erin and the other race organizers who made sure those of us on wheels could safely traverse the course.  I was especially grateful for the pieces of plywood across some rather menacing rail tracks. 

Mark - So glad you and the rest of your "team" could make it! It's always nerve-racking pulling the thing together, but I'm really glad you came and hopefully enjoyed it. Someday I'll tell you the funny back-story about the plywood, a van far larger than what I should be allowed to operate, and getting out of the REALLY hard work!

By the way, looks like we might (MIGHT) break $14,000 for LRAP, depending on how the math shakes out! Whoo-hoo!!!
