We live in a world where hundreds and sometimes thousands of people pay a fee to an organization to get up early in the morning and struggle to run (or walk) 5 or 10 kilometers ... and they sometimes travel from city to city - spending their own money, staying in hotels - It is not just the money they spend to "run" - but that they have the time to do so ... amazing sign of prosperity - and no - not everyone who runs or travels is "rich" ... but the world as we know it, makes it possible for ordinary people to take part in such community events - go back to their homes and do it again ... (yea, I did "run" the Huntsville 10K Cotton Row ... "run" is not quite accurate - BUT - I started with everyone and was on the entire course and crossed the finish line ... and there were a few people behind me (!) -
