Don't Forget To Vote

This entry was written on Nov 03, 2008 by our Running Guru Heidi Splete

On election eve, just a short post to remind anyone who happens to be reading in the next 12 hours to be sure to get out and vote.

Running for office is not that different than running a marathon--it takes planning and perseverance. No matter who comes out ahead, anyone who runs the race learns something about themselves, in my opinion.

I know that the people I run with talk politics on the run and share our opinions. I like to think that at the end of the day we have more in common than not, and that the runner bond is stronger than political differences. There's nothing wrong with some healthy political discussion to liven up a run, and we have certainly had plenty of fodder for the last several years.

Tomorrow you can exercise both your right to vote and your right to run.

Happy Running, and happy voting!
