Thoughts on the Run

I’m addicted to being mobile. Whether it being to check my email or knowing the score of the 118th Red Sox game of the season, I want the info when I want it.Now if I can find a way to combine with a paying job I’d be golden. I imagine there is something …

Went out to grab some lunch at the Tabor Center in downtown Denver. Around 11:50am, throngs of cameras and news crews started to gather on the corner. 10 minutes later the Secret Service, SWAT, and Denver Police arrived followed by Vice President Candidate Joe Biden.

It’s going to be a fun week!

Just took a stroll around the Pepsi Center and the blogging tent. Currently, events and meetings are taking place at the Convention Center, but activity is starting to pick up in the area. Evident are gates and law enforcement ranging from local to federal level. Military helicopters and video cameras fill the scene as you walk down the street.

There is no shortage of sights to be seen.

It is here. Sitting only a quarter mile from the DNC events it is not hard to miss. Union Station has every track occupied with a train, new and old, signs have been cleaned up, newspaper has virtually no other news in it, and the influx of people on the street tells you something is happening.

Politics aside, Denver is being thrown into the spotlight and so far looking good!

What is interesting to me is the coverage of this convention. 1 block to my left is a 2 story tent housing bloggers from around the country. Wow! People with strong opinions, primarily similar, gathered in one place. That is hard to ignore.

I will do my best to get out and snap pics, talk to people, and such, but for some of us, life goes on and we have day jobs.

28:22 - k (3.2 Miles)

Beautiful day for a run through rural Ohio! Had a great time and family was there at the finish line to greet me! Took 3 minutes off last year’s time so still showing improvement … even with little training. Keeps making me think that if I can find the time to run a little more then I might actually get some respectable times
