I can't believe its almost here. I have been very busy, ask my kids. They are looking forward to November 23rd. Then they have a whole year until the next one. LOL. Seriously, about my only real concern at this point is having enough warm bodies to staff my aid stations. Overton/Logandale has one high school between the two towns and every year their high school goes to the football state finals and every year when is it held? Yep, on my race day. So I lose a whole lot of warm bodies (read teens and their families here) because they want to attend the state finals game. Which is after all understandable. I am working with my ham radio guys now and the rotary club and the senior center to see if we can drum up some more warm bodies. Once I lock in at least 50 of them I will be a happy camper.
Some statistics:
I have 29 states (including Alaska and Hawaii) represented as well as three countries (Canada, Japan and Germany).
My oldest participant so far is 73 who is running the full marathon and my youngest is 12 who is running the 10k with her Dad.
Runners will consume approximately 133 gallons of liquid and 945 bananas and 709 oranges.
I also want to thank the Haralsons, Grandma and Grandpa, Shelley and of course my family who are all helping.
I think this might just succeed.
