Stuck on a Sticker

One of the great things about our country is found in the peaceful transfer of power resulting from a free election.

One of the worst things about our country is seen in the political advertising that takes place leading up to the said election.

Case and point, today’s Albuquerque Journal featured a new front page “sticky” asking voters to elect the sitting Sheriff for another term. It was placed right next to the lead headline, a story about one of his Deputies who was killed yesterday.

Run your own race

Since January of this year (2010), I’ve been participating in the Team in Training program offered by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. As a result of their program, I’ve had a chance to raise awareness about blood cancers, generate some additional funds for medical research and complete a few memorable athletic milestones.

Participating in and completing the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon, Denver Rock and Roll Half Marathon and Day of the Tread Half Marathon, I’ve learned many things. But none more important than “run your own race.”
