Two days remaining -- Feeling gross, and a weirdo

Seems to follow a theme, this getting sick business. I didn't get any hiking done the last two days. Still, the ever present GPS was hooked to my back pocket when I did go out. It's almost habit at this point, turning it on. Granted...that's changing sooner than I intended. More on that in a bit...

I've worked on the website, and basically spent time resting. Sunday, at noon...I finish the event officially. Without picking up a run crew, these last few days are mostly symbolic as far as distance goes. It's a bummer, but people have jobs. Being a run crew is pretty time intensive. It's an eight to ten hour endeavor, and the country roads around Lubbock aren't exactly parking friendly. There is no soft shoulder in most places.

Regardless, Sunday I will be running from Lubbock Lake Landmark to the Southwest Cancer Center on Indiana. Not a major run when you're well. Possibly a miserable run when ill. It's not a coughing, hacking thing. Just cold chills, swollen glands....blech.

Hope folks can make it out. It would be nice to see people who've been following my progress.

Now...the GPS. Next two days, it's off. Matter of fact, it may not be turned on again. Shame I have to do this...but having someone who visits my site (and antagonizes other, normal visitors) driving around near midnight trying to find where I'm staying is pretty lame. Not scary...just lame.

That's all the discussion I'll give that. My blog is intended for more pleasant, interesting things. Shame I have to waste time giving this space on a page.

Was informed by my PR guy that I may have an interview with a magazine coming up here shortly. I'm excited about the exposure, as it looks like a really interesting and polished publication. More later. I don't want to jump the gun and talk specifics until the interview is in the bag.

Hopefully, upon completion, I'll get further opportunities to do more varied media. I'm trying to temper my excitement, but I have good feelings about things in the publicity department.

That'll do it. More updates to come, possibly as soon as Friday evening. I look forward to sharing more with everyone.

All the best folks.
