I have good news for everybody who is hoping to win the great IntSam Global 5K that begins today and can be run by anybody anywhere in the world between now and November 1: yours truly, the number one-seeded runner in my estimation, has humbly withdrawn from the 5K run this year.
The bad news is that this completely changes the rankings for the one-mile walkers. I will be walking the mile with Fr. Frank Canfield, S.J. next week. The fact that he’s 84 and I’m recovering from a slight injury doesn’t bother us one bit. We are two bad dudes intent on winning this thing. Well, maybe not winning first place accolades, but at least we are still two bad dudes, depending on one’s definition of both “bad” and “dude.”
In any event, I want to encourage you to keep running your race, even if it’s just walking the mile instead of running the 5K. It’s not too late to sign up. And it’s definitely not too late to join or support our team or any other team’s efforts to raise money for tablets for our scholarship students forced to attend school from home without the technology to do so.
You can help them stay in school and dramatically alter the course of their lives with this gift.
Thank you for helping us win this thing–together.
