Making A Difference

This weekend, a group of 6 (Rebecca, Paul, Brad, Michael, Sam & Lucky) from NYC went to stay with 3 of our friends (Mark, Becca & Chester) in Philly. We spent Saturday (10 days before the election...) knocking on more than 250 doors of independent and undecided voters in Bucks County, one of the most hotly contested counties in Pennsylvania. What a great feeling to get out and feel like you are making a difference in this historic election. We even met some locals at a diner in Bucks County, and they were all supporting Obama!

NYC 2008 Marathon - Sunday, November 2

I am running my first (and most likely last!) marathon. For 5 years we have watched the marathon run by our apartment and this year I am running with my friend Gavin. (We climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro last year together. This has been much harder!)

As of right now, I have run a total of 394 miles (over 61 hours) preparing for the marathon. I'll be glad to get back to a more "normal" routine after Nov. 2...

There are a lot of ways to track me during the race, all of which can be found at the ING NYC Marathon website. We start in the 10:20am group, and are hoping to run the full course in right around 4 hours.

This is a really cool video of the entire marathon route. You can watch and see what I'll see on Sunday!

VOTE!

It is now 11 days until we elect a new president. 

We are supporting Barack Obama for many reasons.

Whoever you are supporting, and if you are old enough -

make sure you VOTE!
