There is no euphoria like that which you feel from a long run. Your mind is at peace, your creativity is sparked and you are prepared for whatever kind of day is thrown at you, and you get to eat a couple of chocolate chip cookies without feeling guilty. You might even have had the simple pleasure of watching the sun rise. People often ask me if I ever have a bad run. I have slower than I would like runs, races that don't go as planned runs, but any run that you finish is a good run, and the longer the run, the better.
I was recently introduced to Jeff Grabosky, who will be doing some very long runs in the near future, traveling across country in running shoes, from CA to NY. Although I have never met Jeff in person, we connect, like most runners do, over the long run. I have always wanted to run across the country, and hope to do so some day. In the meantime, I will keep track of Jeff's progress and keep him present on our blog. I know Alex would be all for joining Jeff on this long run, so maybe we will track him down as he approaches the east coast to keep him company for a few miles and deliver pizza. Jeff will be wearing a Baby Alex Foundation t-shirt during parts of his run as an honorary member of our team. Thank you, Jeff. We'll post any pictures he sends to our website.
