More Streaking

I felt compelled to drop a few words about my rant concerning the 2009 Midnight Streak 5K. Today I had a wonderful conversation via e-mail with Kristin Richter, Public Relations Manager for the City Arts Center. She was also one of two main people that put this race together . First I should say that it was a pleasure talking with her. And second, the job they did--especially considering it was only a couple of people driving this thing--and the fact that they pretty much had to start from scratch, was phenomenal.

As Kristin pointed out, our participation in this race helps fund the exhibits and keeps them free to the public year round. Without us runners running the Midnight Streak, that may not be possible. On that note, I WILL be back next year to participate as a runner or a volunteer. I expect you to be there too. Well, if you're local of course.

Final thought: I am in Salt Lake City this week on business. I forgot how much my lungs hurt when I run in this elevation. Get me home, please!
